Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders appears to have abandoned his promise of a referendum on the Netherlands' exit from the European Union. His Freedom Party (PVV) won a large victory in the Dutch legislative elections in November.

The latest polls also show him favorite in the European election, which will take place from June 6 to 9 in the Netherlands. Wilders has since his election victory struggled to convince other parties to form a government - mainly due to his Islamophobic and anti-EU views.
