The Dutch elections are over. Ultra rightist, anti-Islam candidate Geert Wilders did not win the elections. His party did reduce the overall majority of the ruling party.
Next up are the French presidential elections. Ultra right wing anti-Islam candidate Marine Le Pen is expected to win the 1st round of the French presidential elections. However polls show she is expected to lose the 2nd round.
The man who is expected to win is thirty something year old independent candidate Emmanuel Macron. Macron has also ramped up his anti Islam rhetoric. Here is some news :
