THE HAGUE: A Dutch populist party will be the joint biggest in the senate and strip Prime Minister Mark Rutte of his majority following elections that came just days after a suspected terror attack, local media said Thursday .

The election came just two days after a Turkish-born man was arrested for the tram attack in Utrecht in which three people died. "We are being destroyed by the people who are supposed to be protecting us," the telegenic 36-year-old told a crowd that chanted his name on Wednesday night."Successive Rutte governments have left our borders wide open, letting in hundreds of thousands of people with cultures completely different to ours."
