Brussels Rocked by “Nightmare” Victory for Geert Wilders and his ‘Nexit’ Supporters in Dutch Elections

by Will Jones, Daily Sceptic:

Brussels has been left reeling by what EU politicians see as a “nightmare” victory for Geert Wilders and his ‘Nexit’ supporters in yesterday’s Dutch general elections, reports in the Netherlands say. The Mail has more.

The 60-year-old’s populist PVV (Freedom Party) won 37 seats, according to near complete results, signalling a dramatic shift to the Right in the EU country.

The Eurosceptic party’s unexpected but resounding win prompted immediate congratulations from fellow far-Right leaders in France, Hungary, Italy, Spain and Belgium, who said it showed “borders and rights must be defended”.
