The leader of the far-right Dutch political party PVV, Geert Wilders, made too many sacrifices to try to form a coalition government in the Netherlands, according to half of those who voted for the PVV in the last election, RTL Nieuws reported in April . 21, citing a survey.
According to the channel, two-thirds of the 4,300 PVV voters surveyed do not want Wilders to make further concessions, even though the four parties remain deeply divided on key policy issues such as immigration, asylum and environmental sustainability in agriculture.
The far-right nationalist party remains the most popular in the Netherlands, according to political sociologist Maurice de Hond. In the November elections to the lower house of Parliament, the PVV party won 37 of 150 seats. If new elections were held today, the party would win 50 seats, De Hond wrote.
RTL also found that 60% of PVV voters were angry that Wilders withdrew a proposal for mandatory minimum sentences for violent crimes.
Although 49% of respondents believe Wilders has made too many concessions, most also consider concessions acceptable. At the same time, they worry that Wilders will lose face if he continues to soften his position. Approximately 20,000 of the 43,000 people who registered for the RTL Nieuws survey participated in the survey.
