Breakthrough likely in stalled negotiations to form Wilders government in Netherlands
Geert Wilders, leader of the far-right party PVV, talks to the media, in The Hague, Netherlands, on November 24, 2023
ANTI-ISLAM chauvinist Geert Wilders and three other Dutch political leaders appear to have forced a breakthrough in negotiations to form a new ruling coalition nearly four months after his far-right party won a depressing election victory.
While the exact contours of a new coalition Cabinet remain unclear, designated go-between Kim Putters, who led two days of closed-doors talks, believes that the parties are now ready to hammer out a deal.
Mr Putters was writing up a report today that he will present to politicians on Thursday.
