PVV leader Geert Wilders said he was “reasonably positive about the progress of the Cabinet formation but acknowledged that it will be “a job” to provide a definitive answer by mid-May. “No major decisions have been made yet,” he said after meeting between the PVV, VVD, NSC, and BBB negotiators and the formation leaders. The fact that all the parties are still at the negotiating table “is already good news,” he thinks.
When PVV leader Geert Wilders gives a speech at the far-right CPAC Hungary conference in Budapest this month, he will do so without the presence of journalists from the top national news broadcasters in the Netherlands and Belgium. Dutch national public broadcaster NOS is among news outlets in the Netherlands that have been banned from attending, and Belgian media organization VRT NWS also said they were not allowed to send journalists to the event.
