The Dutch snap elections concluded on October 29, 2025, with Geert Wilders" Party for Freedom (PVV) emerging as the biggest loser. The far-left D66 party surpassed expectations and overtook the PVV in the vote count.
Rob Jetten, a member of D66, is set to become the Netherlands" next prime minister. In contrast, the PVV"s performance has been criticized, with some suggesting that Wilders" focus on international issues, such as his statements regarding Israel, may have detracted from his party"s immigration policies.
Thierry Baudet"s Forum for Democracy (FvD) was noted for advocating remigration policies and successfully doubled its seat count from three to six. Baudet has faced criticism for his stance on immigration, particularly regarding Islamic migrants, but managed to increase his support base.
