Geert Wilders vows to become Dutch PM by compromising with other parties

Anti-Islam MP who won recent election says he will ‘continue to moderate’ his positions to gain power

Veteran Dutch anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders on Saturday vowed to be prime minister of the Netherlands, after an election in which his party won the most seats.

In a long post on X, formerly Twitter, that expressed frustration at other parties for their apparent unwillingness to cooperate with his Freedom party (PVV), Wilders said he would “continue to moderate” his positions if necessary to gain power.
