Dutch Election Winner Wilders Seals Tentative Coalition Deal

Dutch election winner Geert Wilders said he sealed a tentative agreement to form a right-wing coalition government after months of talks but hasn’t yet named a prime minister.

“We have a negotiating agreement. But the factions will also discuss it later, so there may be adjustments and amendments,” Wilders said Wednesday after concluding negotiations with three right—leaning parties — the liberal VVD of outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte, the center-right NSC and the populist Farmer-Citizen Movement. “After that we may reach a final agreement,” he added.
