npub1qjssl23udvrumdyrj0qw0ds5vp7rpdapy94kz2pptvrshxnhmy6qurxp6v (npub1qjs…xp6v) That's indeed true. And that's also the reason why the farmer's party (BBB) briefly became the top party in opinion polls a couple of months ago, before being deflated by its own lack of ideas - like all movements born out of protests, it didn't have solutions for anything.
Being a good opportunist, Wilders has taken all of their points into his own electoral program (like scraping the environmental commitments of the Netherlands, including limits to nitrogen emissions from fertilizers and methane emissions from cattle) and basically ripped off all of their votes.
I feel like the green transition will keep being a hard political issue to tackle because of the position that most of the far-right has taken on the problem.
Short-term sacrifices are easier to swallow if all the political forces across the spectrum agree that they're required, or we'll all get very harmed very soon (starting from the rural communities). And that was indeed the case until recently - until a few years ago no party would have been so reckless to campaign on an openly anti-environmentalist and climate-skeptic platform. Now that the taboo has been broken, and pro-environment politices have been labelled as elitist and pointless, it'll be much harder to get anything done.
