The Dutch elections are again in focus due to the instability and fragmentation of the political landscape, likening the situation to Italy’s. The far-right Freedom Party (PVV), led by Geert Wilders, which had a significant influence on the last ruling coalition, triggered a government collapse after less than a year. The Dutch media, political parties, and voters have drawn lessons from this experience that could be relevant to other European countries grappling with the rise of far-right ideologies and their political success.
