Geert Wilders' decision that he was scrapping his bid for Prime Minister came as a number of people in the Netherlands waited for a report on the raging coalition talks, amid rumors of a breakthrough. After two days of 'good and intense' talks at a country estate, the man in charge of the talks between the two sides, Kim Putters, has said the bickering parties were ready to take the 'next step.'

With the center-right Social Democrats and center-left Social Democrats alternating their positions for years, the Chega chief, a former trainee priest who later became a tough-talking football commentator, disrupted what had long been a two-horse election in Portugal, with the center-right Social Democrats and center-left Social Democrats alternating their positions for years. The Social Democrat-led Democratic Alliance (AD) won only by a slim margin, and is now poised to rule without a majority if it is not included in government. "One thing is for certain tonight, the two-party system in Portugal is finished," Ventura said on Sunday, adding that his party is "at ease to be part of a government." Chega became the third biggest party in the 230-seat National Assembly, quadrupling its parliamentary representation to 48 lawmakers, implying that the AD, which will gain just 79 seats, will only be allowed to pass laws with far-right support.

During the riots, two officers sustained injuries to their hand and another to her teeth, according to police. In the chaos, a fourth was struck by a police car. 'Our colleagues were confronted with intense and severe brutality out of nowhere,' said police chief Marielle van Vulpen.

According to a study that looked at the findings from all 27 EU member states, the bloc will likely see a's sharp right turn' in June, which would be a troubling result for Brussels. According to the report, radical right-wing parties in nine countries, including France, Poland, and Austria, and second or third in another nine countries, including Germany, Spain, Sweden, and Portugal. In fact, populists, eurosceptics, and conservatives are expected to jointly hold almost half of the European Parliament's seats in June, a step that would significantly change the makeup of the EU's legislature.

After writing into English, expats in the Netherlands were told to 'f**k off where you came from,' they told a local church to avoid ringing its bells at night. In a note, an anonymous author shared his doubts with fellow Amsterdamans that the Cathedral's in-progress reconstruction of the nearby Westerkerk clock tower could cause the Cathedral's tolling of its bells to resound 'every 15 minutes, all day and all night.' According to the note, the City of Amsterdam had already received reports, but would need more to insist that the church keep to sociable hours, causing the author to encourage neighbors to call the church if 'bothered by the bells'.

Susan Hall was lumped in with former – and potential – US president and former Home Secretary Suella Braverman when he declared that the election would be 'the first test of whether the extreme right can be held back.' This will be the first election held since the method used to select the mayor was changed from proportional representation back to the same first-past-the-post system used in Westminster. In an interview with the Guardian, Mr Khan cited the electoral progress made by Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders, saying, 'Here in London, one of the world's most diverse cities, my Tory rival in the mayoral election in May is someone who has consistently promoted divisive and racial material on social media, as well as attacking women and the Black community.'

It's day two of the Christmas festivities, and with the excitement of the big day behind you, it's the perfect time to indulge in some family games in betwen the turkey sandwiches.

And so it begins. James Cleverly, who took his first two weeks at the Home Office, has slowly but firmly tossed what had been once the government's greatest immigrant policies into the garbage can just two weeks after getting his feet under his new one. He has told interviewers that he is "frustrated" by the media and political class's 'fixation' with his predecessor Suella Braverman's proposal to transfer migrants to Rwanda for processing. In addition, Cleverly, who is said to have anonymously referred to the Rwanda project as "bats***," has reiterated that it was not "not the be all and end all" of what passes as the government's effort to'stop the boats.'

DOMINIC LAWSON: Sensation! The country's general election has been 'won' by the nearest thing in the Netherlands to Donald Trump.' That is how the headlines described Geert Wilders' Party for Freedom, which gained the most seats. It's much more murkier than that. No fewer than 20 political groups (including the Animals' Party) and Wilders now have a devil of a job to forge a governing majority, if he can at all. The talks could go on for months, leading to the country's top industry executive's telling the Financial Times that the "instability surrounding how our country is ruled" is highly detrimental to the country's 'business and investment climate.' This is a characteristic of countries with 'proportional representation,' as distinct from our own electoral strategy of 'first past the post.'

Holland has been left deeply divided after the election victory for anti-migration Geert Wilders and his Eurosceptic allies. The 'Dutch Trump', a Wilder,' is now seeking to establish a coalition government and tightening its grip on immigration. Wilders has previously stated that he intends to ban mosques and Islamic schools. With a population of more than one million residents from 176 different nationalities, it has sparked suspicion in the first quarters. Wilders were largely opposed by people under the age of 30 who were interviewed by MailOnline.

SUE REID: This week, there was a political earthquake in the quiet land of tulips, canals, and windmills that triggered repercussions throughout the EU. In Holland's capital, Amsterdam, a middle-aged Dutchman wearing a broad grin told me, 'We voted out stupid stuff.' We were able to recover common sense.' I haven't stopped smiling since.' He sounded the death knell for a woke utopia that operated an open-door policy against foreign migrants for two decades, contributing to a rise in Islamic extremism and worries of out-of-control welfare spending, which has been blamed for a significant housing crisis, a rise in Islamic fundamentalism, and worries about out-of-control welfare spending. The Netherlands is the first of Europe's 27 nations to overthrowrown the reign of Brussels' liberal-minded Leftists in favour of more radical governments and parties that require people to change lifestyles in a double-quick time. To help save the earth, the Dutch had even advanced plans for their citizens to enjoy roasted insects instead of beef for Sunday lunch. However, change has been a long time coming to this typically tolerant EU country, with few predicting such a landslide for Wilders at last Wednesday's snap national election, not least the anti-Islamic, Eurosceptic man of the moment himself.

On Friday, Dutch party leaders met to start the long and complicated process of forming a coalition. On Wednesday, the populist and anti-Islamist Party (PVVD) gained 37 seats out of 150, much ahead of 25 for a joint Labour/Green ticket and 24 for the conservative People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) of outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte. Wilders, who is also known as the 'Dutch Trump', has a more favourable position in forthcoming coalition talks as he prepares to form a coalition. Although Wilders is now fighting to form a government and become the next Dutch president, his surprise victory is the latest in a series of recent political controversies that have seen right-wing populist parties gain traction across Europe. However, with his ferocious rhetoric, he has alienated almost all of the country's political parties.

MARK ALMOND: Mark Rutte, Holland's outgoing prime minister, once branded him a "political pyromaniac," and Geert Wilders' dramatic election victory has certainly put an end to his country's famously liberal establishment. The Dutch awakened yesterday that the Wilders' anti-Muslim, anti-immigration, and anti-EU Party for Independence (PVV) gained an unexpected victory. The shocked 60-year-old, who has spent a quarter of a century on the political frontlines, announced: 'The PVV will no longer be ignored... We will govern!' The people of the Netherlands will restore their country, and the refugee and immigrant tsunami will be minimal.'

Geert Wilders, the Dutch politician, is the latest in a series of political uprisings in Europe that have seen far-right parties wield significant power in recent years. MailOnline looks at Europe's far-right's meteoric rise in the past few years.

According to near-complete results, the 60-year-old's populist PVV (Freedom Party) gained 37 seats, indicating a dramatic change to the right in the EU region. The unexpected but resounding victory of the Euroskeptic party in France, Hungary, Italy (left) and Spain prompted immediate praise from fellow far-right politicians in France, Hungary, Italy (left) and Spain. However, the landslide has sparked concerns in Brussels, given PVV's anti-EU stance and promise to hold a binding referendum on leaving the bloc. According to Dutch newspaper 'De Telegraaf, Wilders' win was a 'nightmare' for EU bureaucrats, who have never since Britain's departure in 2020 feared the emergence of another challenger to the bloc's status quo.

According to the Ipsos exit poll, the PVV (Freedom Party) gained 35 seats in parliament, comfortably winning the election, with the centre-right bloc winning the election and a left-wing bloc on 26. If confirmed in the final results, Wilders' victory marks a dramatic change to the right that would be viewed with trepidation in Brussels - the PVV has called a referendum on Dutch membership of the European Union. 'It may not be what other parties in Europe or other nations strive for,' the 60-year-old told reporters when he voted. Immigration was the central issue of the referendum campaign, with closing the borders and deporting illegal immigrants, which appeared to have resonated with Dutch voters.

An explosives team was investigating a "suspect situation" in the Hague's national parliament. It had cleared the building's environs, which had been asked to leave, according to police.
