The Netherlands has sworn in its first far-right government, marking a significant shift in the country's political landscape after 14 years under Prime Minister Mark Rutte. The coalition, formed after right-wing leader Geert Wilders' party's success in November elections, comprises four parties with a comfortable majority in the House of Representatives. Despite Mr. Wilders not becoming prime minister, his party wields significant influence, especially in key ministerial positions. The new government's impact on European relations remains uncertain, as the departure of Mr. Rutte, known for his influence in the European Union, could change the Netherlands' position. The government's approach to international affairs is expected to be more limited, with a focus on domestic issues such as migration. The coalition faces challenges in implementing its campaign pledges, and doubts persist about its ability to fulfill promises while upholding democratic values and the rule of law. The future stability of the government is uncertain, with concerns about its longevity.
