The Dutch municipality elections took place last Wednesday (March 3) and the big winner is... Geert Wilders. In the two cities where his (very) right-wing party participated it became the biggest (Almere) and second-biggest (the Hague) party. Not only am I very disappointed in many Dutch people, I am also afraid for the parliamentary elections that will take place in June.
If this wasn't enough, although I had seen it coming, last Thursday (March 4) it was announced that MONUC is leaving the DRC. I have been (and am) critical of MONUC, but please stay! Don't go! Jason Stearns - as always - has a good post on it.
