Geert Wilders is one of the far-right leaders in Netherlands and his party won an unforeseen victory in the general elections-however for some this was not unexpected at all. He is frequently identified with Trump because of his similar rhetoric, political discourse, and their political promises. In the general elections PVV gained 35 seats whereas its nearest rivals PvdA-Groenlinks (alliance of the labor and green parties) gained 25 seats and VVD (People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy) gained 24 seats, therefore, now, Wilders to be the Prime Minister, he would have to persuade other partners in other parties to work with him.

Wilders is a far-right politician, and his political discourse is also heavily shaped by his ideologies. He is known for his extreme ideologies towards Islam such as banning the Quran, mosques, and all Islamic schools, as well as on Islamic headscarves in government buildings which are also an essential part of his election program. As one of the Eurosceptics he blames the EU for the immigration crisis, and he presents this as one of the causes of housing shortage and high health costs. And according to the news of Guardian on 23 November 2023, Wilders policy has been successful at some degree because according to the interviews, citizens believe that they pay too much tax, too much for healthcare and too much for rent. As it could be seen the rise of far-right could also been explained by people’s anger at the incumbent governments’ incompetency of managing economy, daily life, and migration.

The increasing rise of far-right movements in Europe are taking root into the European continent and with the ever-increasing immigration and following clash of cultures, this problem seems to remain for many years to come. Far-right leaders such as Prime Minister Viktor Orbán of Hungary, Marine Le Pen of France were the first ones to congratulate Wilders for his party’s victory. As the problem of high life costs, immigration and housing problems persist, there is no sign on the horizon that can propose a definite solution for Europe.
