Wednesday's election in the Netherlands returned Prime Minister Mark Rutte to power but he'll have fewer seats and will need to join with more of the other parties in order to form his next coalition government. And while the anti-Muslim rhetoric of Geert Wilders helped his party gain additional seats to become the second largest faction in the new parliament, Wilders will be shut out of the governing coalition. The Agenda discusses what the election results mean for immigrants in the Netherlands and for the rest of Europe.
