It is known that Geert Wilders, leader of the Freedom Party (PVV). This party holds far-right and anti-immigration views. Wilders began his political career in the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), but later separated to create his own party, PVV, in 2006.
His political views are often described as populist: against migrants and Islam.
Wilders is widely known for his criticism of Islam, which he considers not only a religion but also a political ideology. He advocates for limiting immigration, especially from Muslim countries, and for the assimilation of immigrants into Dutch culture.
Wilders has repeatedly been involved in legal cases for his statements. For example, he was accused of inciting hatred and discrimination due to critical statements about Muslims. Wilders is under constant protection due to threats to his safety, linked to his public statements against Islam and his political activity.
The victory of a far-right party representative in the Netherlands comes against the backdrop of radical changes in the political life of Argentina. There, Javier Milei, known for his libertarian views and nicknamed "the economist with the chainsaw," was elected president of Argentina, receiving support from 56% of voters.
Milei plans to carry out a series of reforms, including minimizing state intervention in citizens' lives, withdrawing Argentina from the BRICS, replacing the national currency with the US dollar, and abolishing the country's Central Bank. He also advocates for ending relations with Russia, China, and Brazil.
Among his proposals are significant reductions in government spending, privatization of state enterprises, abolition of some ministries and social benefits, and support for the free sale of weapons and human organs, while opposing abortions.
