Geert Wilders, the far-right leader of the PVV, has withdrawn his party from the Dutch government, leading to the collapse of the coalition over immigration disputes. This decision may trigger snap elections. Prime Minister Dick Schoof's last-minute appeal failed, and Wilders' demands for stricter asylum measures were largely rejected during coalition talks. Political leaders expressed shock and anger, with accusations directed at Wilders for engineering the crisis. The coalition, formed in July 2024, included VVD, BBB, and New Social Contract. Ministers will meet for an emergency session, and new elections are anticipated in the autumn. Teljes cikk (bbc.com europe)
