The parties that agreed to form a Dutch coalition dominated by the far right are struggling to find a prime minister. They warned Wednesday that the search might leave the Netherlands without a fully functional government for months.
FILE - Geert Wilders , leader of the far-right party PVV, or Party for Freedom, talks to the media, two days after winning the most votes in a general election, in The Hague, Netherlands , on Nov. 24, 2023.
