“Political landslide”: this is what Dutch newspapers write about elections and PVV’s monster victory | Elections Netherlands

LOOK. Wilders in victory speech: “The voter has said: we are sick of it”

According to it A.D no one can ignore the PVV anymore after a “crushing victory” and describes it as a “right-wing direct”. The newspaper believes that Wilders’ victory is not an isolated event and points out that anti-migration parties are on the rise in many European countries. “The voter has given up on the policies of recent years.”

Fidelity speaks of a “political landslide” and calls the PVV “the overwhelming winner of the elections.” According to the newspaper, it is a scenario that no one took into account, “not even the winner himself”. The Netherlands is thus joining a European right-wing populist trend. “The voter has erased and redrawn the political lines in the Netherlands.”

NRC sees the Rutte era ending with “a right-wing populist revolt that will shake the Binnenhof to its foundations”. In the eyes of the newspaper, the PVV’s election victory “exceeds all expectations”. And this victory makes it unthinkable that Geert Wilders’ party “will not have the opportunity to at least try to form a right-wing coalition”. The medium attributes the party’s great success to Wilders’ strong TV performances in the final phase of the campaign and his willingness to shelve his anti-Islamic proposals.

The Telegraph headlines: Netherlands to the right. The newspaper concludes that voters have saddled the Netherlands with a brainteaser of unprecedented proportions. The desire among other parties to join forces with the PVV is not the same everywhere. “The formation promises to be another monster job.” Now that Pieter Omtzigt’s NSC has received approximately 20 seats, the party is, according to De Telegraaf, large enough “to function as a key party in the formation.”

The Financial Times speaks of a spectacular win for Wilders who “turns politics in The Hague upside down”. The VVD will probably have to give up ten seats and will go to 24. The FD says that the result is “especially a big defeat for the new leader Dilan Yesilgöz” and points out that her predecessor never got fewer than 31 seats.

The Dutch Dagblad writes that “political The Hague is in shock” “about the monster victory of the one-man movement”.

De Volkskrant notes that with the win of PVV and Pieter Omtzigt’s NSC there is a right-wing majority in the House of Representatives and that the formation of a right-wing coalition is obvious.
