BRUSSELS (AP) — Anti-Islam firebrand Geert Wilders and three other Dutch party leaders say they have brokered a provisional government deal. The move brings closer a government driven by the hard right in yet another European Union nation. The party leaders said Wednesday that they will put the text to their party backbenchers before a full government deal can be announced. The parties still have to agree on a prime minister, who is expected to be a technocrat from outside the party structures. With hard right and populist parties now part of or leading a half dozen governments in the 27-nation bloc, they appear positioned to make gains in the June election for the European Parliament.
