This is the best summary I could come up with:
Dutch anti-Islam populist leader Geert Wilders has abandoned his bid to become prime minister, despite his party's dramatic victory in the 2023 elections.
The negotiator leading the latest round of talks which concluded on Tuesday, is due to share his report with parliament on Thursday.
The love for my country and voter is great and more important than my own position," Mr Wilders wrote in his post on Wednesday evening.
Mr Wilders, 60, has spent months in talks with the centre-right VVD, New Social Contract (NSC) and BBB farmers' parties to try and form a coalition government.
It was not immediately clear if a compromise figure for the prime minister's post has emerged.
The PVV's victory last year not only shook Dutch politics, but had repercussions across Europe as the Netherlands is one of the founding members of what is now the European Union.
