Dutch government under fire from far-right for approving Greek bailout

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte on Wednesday faced a grilling in parliament, and a possible no-confidence vote for his cabinet's support for debt-ridden Greece's third international bailout.

Rutte "betrayed his electorate" by breaking his promise that no more money would go to Greece, far-right eurosceptic politician Geert Wilders told lawmakers.

The liberal premier has come under fire for breaking a 2012 election promise in which he said no more money would go to Athens after two previous bailouts.

Wilders, who has bitterly opposed financial aid to Greece, was to ask for a vote of no-confidence in Rutte's government.

Does Geert Wilders look a lot like Donald Trump or is it just a similar hair style for right wing politicians?
