This morning Wilders jokingly said they won with a campaign budget of barely 3 Euro.
Which is true, because he didn't run any TV ads, news paper ads or online ads. Because of his security situation he doesn't do any big political rallies either.
As far as deplatforming goes, he does do most debates but he rarely shows up or is invited on TV outside of that. The answer of many commentators that he gets death threats from Muslims all over the world and lives in hiding is usually that he deserves it.
That is the one thing that is probably glossed over in the foreign press. They like to compare Wilders to Trump, Milei, Orban or Bolsonaro but unlike them Wilders doesn't have a massive political movement or party behind him, big rallies or millions in campaign funds to reach voters.
He's just "Geertje" as we call him here.
