That was not the case,” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.His Freedom Party (PVV) won the most votes last year – but needed support of other parties to form a coalition.Marathon talks with three other parties look to have failed.The negotiator leading the latest round of talks which concluded on Tuesday, is due to share his report with parliament on Thursday. Who is Geert Wilders and what does he want?Wilders’ Dutch victory sends tremors around Europe”I would like a right-wing cabinet. Less asylum and immigration. Dutch on 1. The love for my country and voter is great and more important than my own position,” Mr Wilders wrote in his post on Wednesday evening.Mr Wilders, 60, has spent months in talks with the VVD, NSC and BBB parties to try and form a coalition government. The leaders of those three insisted this week that the only way they would be willing to move forward was if all four party leaders agreed not to take a role in the government, according to Dutch public broadcaster NOS.It was not immediately clear if a compromise figure for the prime minister’s post has emerged.A parliamentary debate on the issue is expected on Thursday.The PVV’s victory last year not only shook Dutch politics, but had repercussions across Europe as the Netherlands is one of the founding members of what is now the European Union.
