Wilders' success unsettles Europe

Wilders

 

The Dutch politician Geert Wilders, a controversial figure owing to his anti-Islamic views, won many voters over to his party, the Party for Freedom, in Wednesday's local elections in the Netherlands. If he manages to repeat the success in the parliamentary elections slated for June 9, Dutch politics will be destabilised and Europe will be forced to deal seriously with the right-wing populist, writes the European press.
