Are the Dutch right-wing populist or liberal? |
|
After the recent escalation with Turkey the tension before the elections is particularly large: the right-wing populist Geert Wilders delivers a head-to-head race with the right-wing government division of Premier Marc Rutte. With his anti-Islamic and anti-EU course Wilders has led to a political turnaround in the former flagship country for liberality and tolerance. The fact that his right-wing slogans fall to fertile ground in the Netherlands, which is known for their openness, their progressive equality and liberal drug policies, astonished many. ORF Weltjournal reporter Alexander Steinbach has embarked on a journey through the Netherlands, analysing the political and social starting point before the elections, which could be directional for the whole of Europe.
