Populist firebrand Geert Wilders, who has gained acclaim and infamy for his loud denunciations of radical Islam, won big in Dutch national elections that occurred on Wednesday.
Wilders’ party, the Freedom Party (PVV), is set to gain 37 seats in the Dutch lower house of parliament, which would more than double what the party gained in the previous elections.
“Can you imagine it? 37 seats!” Wilders stated at his victory party to a raucous chorus of cheers.
Wilders is expected to enter into a coalition government after the incredible election victory, and Wilders may even become Prime Minister of the Netherlands when it is all said and done.
“The Dutch will be No. 1 again,” Wilders said. “The people must get their nation back.”
Big League Politics has reported on the rise of the Populist Right in recent elections as the people turn against the globalist status quo:
“After populist libertarian Javier Milei was elected president of Argentina on November 19, 2023, former United States President Donald Trump praised him for his electoral victory.
“Congratulations to Javier Milei on a great race for President of Argentina,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform.
“The whole world was watching! I am very proud of you. You will turn your Country around and truly Make Argentina Great Again!”, the former president continued.
Milei defeated his rival Minister of Economy Sergio Massa by a 56% to 44% margin. Prior to election day, Milei warned about potential voter fraud going down, especially by alluding to the first round of voting in October being filled with irregularities.
Integral parts of Milei’s campaign have focused on abolishing the Argentine Central Bank and downsizing the bureaucracy.
During his victory speech on November 19, Milei declared that the “reconstruction of Argentina begins today.”
“Argentina’s situation is critical. The changes our country needs are drastic. There is no room for gradualism, no room for lukewarm measures,” Milei declared, per a report by the AP.
Other conservative pundits praised Milei for his presidential victory.
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson posted a photo with Milei once it became clear that he was running away with the presidential race. Conservative superstar Ben Shapiro proclaimed, “Awesome news’ ‘ when news of Milei’s victory surfaced.
Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene praised Milei on X, stating, “Argentina God bless you!!””
Wilders’ success is another sign that leftist globalism is crumbling. The people are rising up and demanding power against the technocracy that wants to crush their civil liberties and basic rights.
