Geert Wilders says he is there for ‘everyone’ amid uncertainty over Dutch government formation – Europe live

Geert Wilders, the Dutch far-right leader whose Party for Freedom (PVV) won the most seats in last week’s election, is upping efforts to portray himself as an acceptable possible prime minister.

The Party for Freedom is a “broad” people’s party, he wrote on social media this morning.

“2.4 million people voted for us. High and low educated, native and immigrant, employed, retired, young and old. From the city, the countryside,” he wrote, adding: “The PVV is there for everyone”.

But despite his strong election performance, Wilders’ views remain controversial – and it is unclear if the PVV can reach agreements with other parties to form a coalition.
