Dutch Coalition Government Takes Shape After Six Months of Negotiations

Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders has announced that he has reached an agreement to form a right-wing coalition government, which is expected to be the most conservative government in the Netherlands in decades. The exact composition of the government remains unclear, with no official announcement on who will serve as prime minister. Ronald Plasterk, former education and interior minister, appears to be a leading contender for the position. Wilders has agreed to form a coalition with the centre-right People's Party for Freedom and Democracy, but details on the government's composition and leadership remain unclear.
