The Collapse of the The Flying Dutchman 🇳🇱⚡️
The Dutch government has collapsed after the far-right leader Geert Wilders pulled his party out of the ruling coalition in a row over immigration and asylum policy 💥.
The prime minister, Dick Schoof, on Tuesday handed in his resignation and that of his 11-month-old cabinet to King Willem-Alexander 👑. Remaining ministers will stay on in a caretaker capacity until new elections, most likely in October 🗳.
Schoof told reporters in The Hague after an emergency cabinet meeting 🏛, adding that he considered Wilders’s decision “irresponsible and unnecessary” 🚫.
Wilders, whose populist, anti-Islam Freedom party (PVV) finished as the largest in parliament in the last election 📊, said he would “fight the coming elections to make the PVV even stronger” and “with the aim of becoming prime minister next time” 💪.
The far-right leader had said earlier on Tuesday that all his party’s ministers would quit the government after the other three partners in the four-party coalition had rejected his radical proposals on immigration 🌍.
he said. He had warned last week that if his plans were not adopted, the PVV – the largest party in parliament, with 37 seats – would be “out of the cabinet” ⚖️.
Wilders’ announcement followed a brief meeting of the already fractious and fragile coalition – the first to include the PVV – which consistently struggled to reach a consensus after being sworn in last July 📅.
The coalition between the PVV, the populist Farmer-Citizen Movement (BBB), centrist New Social Contract (NSC) and liberal-conservative VVD took nearly six months to form ⏳ and was repeatedly undermined by Wilders, who was not a cabinet member.
He wanted it to adopt a 10-point plan aimed at radically reducing immigration and asylum, including enlisting the army to secure and patrol the borders 🛡, turning all asylum seekers back at the border and closing refugee accommodation facilities 🏚.
Wilders also proposed sending all Syrian refugees home 🇸🇾, suspending EU asylum quotas and banning family members joining refugees already in the country 🚷.
Legal experts have said several of the proposals breached European human rights laws or the UN refugee convention, to which the Netherlands is a signatory ⚖️.
