Dutch Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders resumed his campaign for this month’s elections as polls suggested that voters were turning away from his populist message.
Wilders, who has lived for more than a decade under government protection, picked up his public appearances on Friday with an unannounced visit to the fishing village of Volendam north of Amsterdam. Dutch media reported that it was his first campaign stop since he canceled all public events last week citing security concerns.
