‘Parties like ours are coming all over Europe!’ says Belgian far-right leader, as PVV predicted to win 35 seats
Far-right figures across Europe have congratulated the Dutch anti-Islam, anti-EU populist politician Geert Wilders and his Party for Freedom (PVV) on being predicted to win the most seats in the Netherlands parliament, in an upset that opens the way for the PVV to play a key role in the formation of the next government.
The PVV was predicted to win 35 seats in the 150-seat parliament, according to exit polls, which means that to form a working majority, Wilders will still need to gain enough support to form a coalition.
