Dutch Election: A New Hope for Europe
The recent election in the Netherlands has brought a sense of optimism to Europe's centrists, with Rob Jetten, a pro-European liberal, emerging as a favorite to become the country's prime minister.
Jetten's surge in the final days of the campaign has been notable, and at 38, he would be the youngest person to hold the office since World War II, as well as the first openly gay candidate to do so.
In contrast, Geert Wilders, the far-right populist who had previously touted leaving the EU, lost nearly a third of his voters after a chaotic 11 months in coalition.
Wednesday’s election in the Netherlands should surely go down as one of the best days Europe’s centrists have enjoyed in years.
Author's summary: Rob Jetten is EU's dream candidate.
