Dutch candidates are intensifying their attacks on each other as the polls show a close race in the national election. Top candidates include Frans Timmermans, Geert Wilders, Dilan Yesilgoz, Pieter Omtzigt, and Mark Rutte. The election will determine whether the government leans towards the center with increased spending on climate policies or a hard-right coalition with a strong anti-immigration line. The outcome will likely necessitate lengthy coalition talks.
