    Geert Wilders’ Supposed ‘Far-Right’ Party Makes Major Gains in European Parliament Election

    World News 5 Mins Read

    Never forget that all parties that are against immigration are called Far-Right…  Media in Europe is so far left that our own MSNBC would be considered Conservative there. That’s a hint as to their intense bias

    Dutch leader Geert Wilders’ Party for Freedom (PVV) has made significant gains in the recent European Parliament election, according to an exit poll published on Thursday. Although the PVV appears to have made substantial progress, it seems likely to narrowly finish in second place. This despite the constant attacks by the Marxist controlled press which calls him ‘far-right’ every chance they get.

    In the 2019 election, Wilders’ PVV did not secure any seats. However, the latest poll by Ipsos I&O indicates that the PVV is set to win seven of the 31 seats allocated to the Netherlands in the 720-seat European Parliament. This result positions the PVV just behind the Labor-Green alliance, which is projected to win eight seats. Wilders expressed optimism about these results, stating, “We are by far the largest winner this evening,” and voiced his hope that the PVV might still come out on top when official results are announced on June 9, after all 27 member countries have cast their votes.

    The enthusiasm was not limited to Wilders’ camp. An electoral event held by his Labor-Green rivals in Utrecht saw similar elation as the exit poll results were announced, eliciting cheers from attendees. Both Wilders and his opponents had framed the election as crucial for the future of the European Union, adding a sense of urgency to a vote that is often overlooked by many Dutch citizens.

    The Dutch election results, though not final, are seen as indicative of broader trends that might be observed across the EU. The supposed far-right is expected to achieve significant victories in France and Italy and could potentially secure second place in Germany. Prominent figures on the left, including Green MEP Bas Eickhout and national alliance leader Frans Timmermans, highlighted the significance of the Dutch exit poll for the rest of Europe. Timmermans, the EU’s former climate chief, emphasized the importance of the results, urging other European nations to follow the Netherlands’ lead in resisting the radical right.

    Despite the left’s celebrations, the exit poll confirms the predicted surge of the supposed far-right, which could influence EU policies on asylum, migration, and climate change. This surge marks a notable shift for Wilders, who dramatically altered the Dutch political landscape by winning a national election last November, contrasting sharply with his party’s failure to secure any seats in the 2019 European election.

    The exit poll showed a turnout of 47 percent, a notable increase from the previous election’s turnout by five percentage points. Timmermans praised the high participation rate at the Utrecht event, calling it “the highest turnout since the fall of the Wall.”

    The center-right People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), led by outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte, is expected to win four seats, a loss of one seat compared to the previous election. Meanwhile, Wilders’ smaller coalition partners, the right-wing populist Farmer Citizen Movement (BBB) and the centrist New Social Contract (NSC), both new to the European political scene, appear to have secured two and one seats, respectively. Timmermans also acknowledged the success of other pro-European parties and congratulated Wilders on his party’s impressive performance.

    In Brussels, the PVV will face the challenge of balancing its commitment to “hollow out Europe from within” with the diplomatic efforts needed to fulfill the ambitious promises outlined in Wilders’ new government proposal. This proposal includes opting out of Europe’s migration rules and easing environmental targets, highlighting the complex negotiations ahead for the PVV in the European Parliament.

    Major Points:

    • Geert Wilders’ supposed far-right Party for Freedom (PVV) appears to have significantly improved its standing in the European Parliament election, according to an exit poll.
    • The PVV is projected to win seven out of the 31 seats allocated to the Netherlands, narrowly trailing behind the Labor-Green alliance.
    • Both Wilders and his opponents framed the election as crucial for the future of the EU, injecting urgency into the voting process.
    • The Dutch election results serve as a barometer for broader trends across the EU, with the supposed far-right expected to make gains in France, Italy, and possibly Germany. Perhaps we should truly call it like it is: The people are rising and tired of the Left destroying every western nation.
    • Despite celebrations from the left, the exit poll confirms the predicted surge of the supposed far-right, raising concerns about its potential impact on EU policies regarding asylum, migration, and climate change.
