Abstract

The article focuses on the upcoming Dutch national election on October 29, 2025, following the collapse of the right-wing coalition government led by Prime Minister Dick Schoof. The far-right Freedom Party (PVV), led by Geert Wilders, currently leads the polls but faces significant challenges in forming a government due to opposition from other major parties, including the Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA), the Labour Party–Greens alliance, and the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD). Wilders' campaign centers on strict immigration controls and anti-Islam policies, but his polarizing stance and the fragmented political landscape may result in prolonged coalition negotiations. The election reflects broader European trends of far-right parties gaining popularity yet struggling to secure governing power.
