According to de Volkskrant, the radical right is bigger than ever, with the Freedom Party (PVV) succeeding in electing 35 deputies. According to exit polls, the figures are still provisional.
The House of Representatives makes 150 seats available to members of the House of Representatives and the three radical right parties – the PVV, the FvD and the JA21 – manage to occupy 39 seats.
The 13.3 million citizens were called to go to the polls this Wednesday to choose between 26 parties in a parliament that has almost half the seats in the Portuguese hemisphere.
The largest opposition party, the progressive Greens of the Groenlinks/PVDA coalition, has so far managed to elect 25 deputies. It is the only progressive party to emerge with a victory.
“We can no longer be ignored,” PVV leader Geert Wilders said, warning that it would be “very undemocratic” if that were to happen. “The voter would not accept this,” he added.
According to the Telegraaf newspaper, Wilders called on other parties to work together and “overcome their own shadows”, realizing that the PVV will also have to do this exercise.
If Wilders becomes prime minister, it will be for all Hokandians. “Regardless of who you are, where you come from and what your faith is,” concluded the candidate for head of state of the Netherlands.
In addition to promising restrictions on immigration, Wilders says he wants people to have “more money in their wallets”, in addition to promising “care and security in order”.
The leader of the NSC, Pieter Omtzigt, a party that did not exist until now, obtained 1 million votes. “We are available to drive,” Omtzigt said. “More than a million people have trusted us,” he said, declaring that they have chosen real social security. According to the exit poll, the NSC succeeds in electing twenty seats in the Dutch parliament.
Dilan Yesilgöz, who leads the VVD, has already conceded defeat, falling from 34 deputies elected by the party in 2021 to 24 deputies in these elections, if the exit poll results are confirmed. “From today we will continue to build,” he said.
