Dutch pro-EU centrist party is on course to win national election
The election was called after the collapse of the ruling coalition this summer, with the PVV losing support in the run-up to the vote. The GreenLeft-Labour alliance, a key competitor, showed a comparable performance in recent opinion polls. Surveys indicated that more than half of the country’s voters remained undecided just before the election, prompting warnings from the Dutch data protection watchdog against relying on AI chatbots for voting advice.
“This directly impacts a cornerstone of democracy: the integrity of free and fair elections. We therefore urge voters not to use AI chatbots for voting advice because their operation is neither transparent nor verifiable,” Monique Verdier, deputy chair of the watchdog, said.
The coalition government fell in June when the PVV withdrew over disagreements about a narrowly tailored immigration overhaul proposed by Wilders. His party had initially supported what he described as the “strictest migration policy ever” in the Netherlands but later abandoned the coalition. “I signed up for the toughest asylum policy and not the downfall of the Netherlands,” Wilders said after the PVV’s exit.
