Geert Wilders' coalition deal shifts the Netherlands to the right
Anti-Islam firebrand Geert Wilders and three other party leaders agreed on a coalition deal early yesterday that veers the Netherlands toward the hard right, capping half a year of tumultuous negotiations that still left it unclear who would become prime minister.
