The Netherlands looks set to have its most right wing government in decades, after a deal was reached between four parties following months of negotiations.

The announcement was made by anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders, whose Party for Freedom received the most votes in last November's elections.

It's still not clear who will become prime minister. Wilders' hardline views on Islam meant he had to step aside from taking that role so a deal could be reached.

    DW's editorial office will have to live with the fact that eventually, same thing will happen with AfD... and guess what, "Democracy" won't end on that day :). In fact, if They cut the funding for the DW - it would make German democracy much healthier.

    I am an Indian and try to speak Hindi as Indian and German or English as the native speaker. This Anker speaks English like Hindi. We should encourage people who really respect others languages and speak with there pronunciation.
