After six months, Dutch parties reach government deal

Almost six months after Dutch anti-Islam populist leader Geert Wilders won the Dutch election, he and three other party leaders have agreed a provisional agreement to form a right-wing government.

A final decision has not been made on the next Dutch prime minister, but it will not be Mr Wilders, who gave up the chance in a bid to secure a deal.

“We have a negotiators’ agreement and we will now put it to our [parliamentary] factions,” the Freedom Party leader told journalists.
