Geert Wilders, a Dutch political firebrand who professes strong anti-EU and anti-immigrant sentiments, and has demanded a halt to aid to Ukraine, appears to be the latest right-wing politician to ride to victory the wave of popular discontent sweeping the European continent.

Wilders left his mainstream rivals biting the dust, the initial tally after the legislative elections in the Netherlands on November 22 showed. After outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s four consecutive governments, exit polls suggested Wilders’ Freedom Party (PVV) will be largest group in the next parliament.
