Ein wichtiger möglicher Koalitionspartner des niederländischen Rechtspopulisten Geert Wilders hat eine Zusammenarbeit mit ihm ausgeschlossen und damit seine Chancen auf die Wahl zum Regierungschef nach den anstehenden Neuwahlen gesenkt.

Overview

  • VVD leader Dilan Yesilgöz publicly declared her party will no longer collaborate with Geert Wilders’s PVV, citing his lack of leadership maturity.
  • Wilders’s decision to withdraw the PVV from the governing coalition last week triggered early elections scheduled for October 29, 2025.
  • Current polls show PVV, VVD and a Green-Social Democrat alliance running virtually neck-and-neck in voter support.
  • Geert Wilders reacted angrily to the VVD’s stance, accusing Yesilgöz of seeking to ‘destroy the Netherlands’ with left-wing parties.
  • Dilan Yesilgöz and Green-Social Democrat candidate Frans Timmermans are now positioned as the leading contenders for prime minister.
