Horror at election results in the Netherlands
In the wake of the election victory of right-wing populist Geert Wilders in the Netherlands, the Greens have called for investment in future technologies and more social justice at their national party conference. With a view to the success of the Islamophobic party in the neighboring country, Green Party leader Omid Nouripour said on Thursday evening in Karlsruhe that it was "painful to see what is happening there".
He said he was very grateful to Federal Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP) for announcing the suspension of the debt brake for 2023. "Thank you very much for that!" said the co-chairman. However, this is not enough for the necessary modernization of the country.
Despite the election win of Geert Wilders' right-wing populist party, the Green Parties in both countries emphasized the importance of investing in future technologies and promoting social justice. Consequently, at their national conferences, they urged for more focus on these aspects to counteract the rising influence of such parties in elections.
