AMSTERDAM - Voting in provincial elections began in the Netherlands on Wednesday, just two days after a Turkish-born man was arrested over a shooting attack in the city of Utrecht, boosting Dutch populist parties.
“It’s 100 percent clear that the coalition will book major losses,” pollster Maurice de Hond said in an election preview. “It will be a close call as to whether the coalition plus even just one other opposition party” will be able to command a majority after the new Senate is seated in May. Its leader, Thierry Baudet, shocked establishment parties this week by blaming the government for the Utrecht attack on the same day it occurred. Others had suspended campaigning.
The Dutch economy has been one of Europe’s best performers under successive Rutte-led governments, but resentment over early 2010s austerity programs linger. Recent debate has focused on funding the government’s plans to meet international goals on climate change, and the likely cost to taxpayers.
