Far Right Gains Ground in Europe with Dutch Election Win

Geert Wilders's Party for Freedom victory signals a growing trend, raising concerns ahead of European Parliament elections.

Geert Wilders and his Party for Freedom won the parliamentary elections in the Netherlands, marking another victory for the far right in Europe.
Despite the win, Wilders is expected to struggle to form a government as his party fell short of a majority.
Far-right parties have gained power in Italy, extended their rule in Hungary, and made significant gains in Austria, Germany, and Greece.
Wilders's victory has renewed concerns about the potential influence of the far right in the upcoming European Parliament elections.
Centrist politicians across Europe have been moving closer to far-right positions, particularly on issues such as migration.
