THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Dutch far-right lawmaker Geert Wilders said Wednesday that he’s returning to the campaign trail, with two weeks to go before a general election after he briefly suspended his election activities following reports that he was a possible target of a suspected plot in Belgium to kill politicians using an explosives-laden drone.

Wilders’ populist Party for Freedom, known by its Dutch acronym PVV, won the last election in late 2023 and was the biggest bloc in a four-party ruling coalition until earlier this year, when Wilders pulled his ministers out of the government in a dispute over a crackdown on migration.

His manifesto for the upcoming election calls for measures including for a total halt to asylum-seekers entering the Netherlands, military patrols at borders to enforce the ban and the closure of recently opened asylum-seeker centers.

“Elections are coming, it is campaign time and I feel a great responsibility toward the Netherlands and PVV voters,” Wilders said in a written statement on X. “So I am getting back to work.”

He said he would attend a string of television and radio debates leading up to the vote. Wilders noted that he has lived under round-the-clock protection for 21 years because of “countless death threats of all shapes and sizes.”

It remains to be seen if Wilders can cobble together a right-wing coalition if he wins the most seats. The leader of the center-right Party for Freedom and Democracy has said that she won’t join a coalition with the PVV.

Although his party won the last election and was the largest in the four-party coalition, Wilders didn’t become prime minister, because other parties wouldn’t support his leadership. Instead, a career civil servant, Dick Schoof, was appointed to lead the government that lasted just 11 months.
