Wilders rallies in Venlo as PVV leads polls, faces isolation over Ukraine stance

Geert Wilders, leader of the right-wing Party for Freedom (PVV), launched his national campaign in Venlo ahead of the October 29 general elections, drawing supporters who praised his hardline stance on immigration and opposition to Dutch financial and military aid for Ukraine.
