Dutch Coalition Collapses After Far-Right Exit

Dutch Coalition Collapses After Far-Right Exit
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Netherlands’ governing coalition has collapsed after far-right leader Geert Wilders pulled his Freedom Party (PVV) out of the government following a bitter dispute over asylum policies.

The dramatic move, which came after a failed one-minute meeting with Prime Minister Dick Schoof, ends an uneasy 11-month alliance between Wilders’ PVV, the conservative-liberal VVD, the Farmers’ Citizen Movement (BBB), and the centrist New Social Contract.

Wilders demanded 10 additional immigration measures—including an asylum application freeze and limits on family reunification—despite many policies already being part of the coalition agreement.

Dutch Coalition Collapses After Far-Right Exit

His abrupt withdrawal led to widespread outrage among former partners, with VVD leader Dilan Yesilgoz calling it “super irresponsible” and BBB’s Mona Keijzer accusing Wilders of “betraying the Netherlands.” Opposition leaders, meanwhile, celebrated the end of what Socialist Party’s Jimmy Dijk called a “right-wing hostage situation.”

With ministers set to offer their resignations to King Willem-Alexander, Dutch media reports suggest elections could be held as early as autumn.

Prime Minister Schoof may lead a caretaker government until then, though Labour-Green leader Frans Timmermans has already demanded fresh polls. Analysts note the timing complicates the upcoming NATO summit in The Hague, where the Netherlands will now participate under interim leadership.

Wilders Takes a Gamble on Immigration-Focused Election Campaign

Chatham House’s Armida van Rij suggests Wilders engineered the crisis to revive his declining poll numbers by centering the campaign on immigration. However, with the PVV having controlled asylum policy for nearly a year, his strategy carries risks.

Economists have meanwhile, downplayed the immediate financial impacts, noting the coalition achieved little—a sentiment echoed by newspaper NRC, which blasted the government’s “amateurism and incompetence.”
