According to the first prediction, the EU elections in the Netherlands will result in a neck-and-neck race between the red-green electoral alliance and the radical right party of populist Geert Wilders.
According to the forecast published on television on Thursday evening, the red-green alliance of the Social Democratic Labor Party and the green party GroenLinks will win eight of the 31 mandates, while Wilders’ eurosceptic Freedom Party (PVV) will receive seven.
Wilders won the general election in November
According to polls, Wilders’ party was previously expected to win a European election for the first time. Five years ago she entered the European Parliament with just one member. The right-wing extremist surprisingly won the national parliamentary elections in November with his anti-Islam party and will now govern together with three other right-wing parties.
EU elections: the Netherlands has started
About 360 million Europeans have until Sunday to vote for the 720 members of the European Parliament. The Dutch were the first to vote. The other 26 EU member states will follow in the coming days. Most people will vote on Sunday, including Austria. The results will only be released when all polling stations are closed. This is the case on Sunday evening.
