23.10.2025 โ‡ข The Day Dutch Leaders Confronted Wilders
โŒจDutch media on October 23 intensely focused on the final stage of the national election campaign. Early reports highlighted US sanctions against Russia but noted incomplete US support for Ukraine, despite Rutte's flattery towards Trump (NRC). By mid-morning, reports emerged of political parties quietly cutting unemployment and disability benefits (NRC). The afternoon shifted to the EU nearing a 140 billion euro loan agreement for Ukraine (de Volkskrant) and a Chinese Nexperia entity reportedly detaching from its European counterpart (Het Financieele Dagblad), following previous days' Nexperia coverage. The evening culminated in significant coverage of a televised debate where party leaders Timmermans, Bontenbal, and Yesilgรถz directly confronted PVV leader Geert Wilders (NRC, de Volkskrant).
