Far-right politician Geert Wilders protested in Dutch capital Amsterdam

A group of people on Saturday held a demonstration to protest the rise of the far-right after the Xenophobic anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders secured most seats in the Dutch election.

Gathering at the Dam Square in the capital Amsterdam, demonstrators protested the rise of far-right and Party for Freedom (PVV) leader Geert Wilders' win the general election.

The crowd voiced concern following the rise of far-right parties in the country, which they said threatens the harmony of the Dutch public.

The protesters also called on the government to oppose Israel's "apartheid policies" and called for an end to the attacks on Gaza.

Carrying signs, some of them read: "No to fascism" and "Geert=fascist," they also chanted slogans including "No to fascism" and "Stop racism."

Speaking to Anadolu, Lars Meijer, a 23-year-old protester, said he took part in the demonstration to stand against Wilders.

Saying that the far-right leader aims to ban the Muslim holy book Quran and to close the mosques, he accused him of being "fascist."

Meijer also expressed his concern over the rise of Islamophobia if Wilders becomes the prime minister.

60-year-old protester Roos Korste told Anadolu that everything in the country could worsen if the PVV came to power.

The final official results of parliamentary elections in the Netherlands confirmed the far-right leader Geert Wilders' win.

The Dutch electoral council announced the results on Friday, confirming the exit polls of Nov. 22, the NL Times reported.

Geert Wilders' far-right Islamophobic Party for Freedom (PVV) came as the primary party with 37 seats, followed by GroenLinks-PvdA with 25 seats, a coalition led by former European commissioner Frans Timmermans.
