Far-right Dutch politician Geert Wilders, who voted for both President Erdogan and Erdogan, and made very harsh statements towards Turkish voters living in the Netherlands after the elections in May, has become one of the leading figures in the elections scheduled to be held in the Netherlands. On November 22, 2023.
In polls published ahead of elections expected to be held after the resignation of Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, Wilders became the name who “defines power” (“kingmaker” in English). The New Social Contract, established in August in the Netherlands, where conservatives and anti-refugee groups are increasingly rising, is seen as the first party. The party, founded by 49-year-old former Christian Democrat Peter Omtsigt, is expected to win more seats than the conservative VVD.
While the NSC is expected to get 31 seats at the polls, the party of Dylan Yeşilgoz, who replaced Rutte as head of the VVD, is expected to get 30 seats. In opinion polls, Wilders’ far-right Freedom Party appears likely to win 18 seats. “We want to return the Netherlands to the Dutch,” said Wilders, known for his anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant statements.
While Wilders’ support is expected to be crucial in forming a new government, the poll indicates that the formation of a coalition including the NSC, VVC, BBB and PVV is certain.
Wilders exchanged messages criticizing Erdogan after the elections.
He said “goodbye” to those who voted for Erdogan
Far-right Dutch politician Geert Wilders sent successive messages about Turkey on his personal Twitter account after this year’s elections.
Wilders, known for his frequent racist and discriminatory statements, criticized expatriates living in the Netherlands for voting for Erdogan after the elections in Turkey.
I hope all the Turks who voted for the Islamo-fascist Erdogan in the Netherlands will now pack their bags and move to Turkey. Goodbye!” Wilders said: “For weeks, I have been receiving many messages from secular Turks from Turkey, who have suffered greatly from Erdogan’s stifling Islamist regime and are really yearning for more personal freedom. My heart bleeds for them. He also shared the message: “I would like to meet them in Turkey, support them and address them, but unfortunately the risk for them and for them is too great.”
Wilders, who shared one X post after another at the time, posted a message in English and Turkish and tagged Erdogan’s account: “It will be safe and less harassed, your economy will be less plundered, and your nation will be more Turkish and Turkish.” Fewer Arabs,” he said.
