People in the Netherlands will go to the polls on Wednesday to choose members of the House of Representatives. As Press TV’s Demba Kandeh reports from Rotterdam, the parties of Prime Minister Mark Rutte and far-right leader Geert Wilders are neck-and-neck. Wilders’ Party for Freedom is against Islam and immigration, with its leader pushing for departure of immigrants from the Netherlands.
