Dutch The government has fallen After the right -wing politician Geert Wilders dispute on Tuesday after leaving the right -wing union Anti -immigrant The actions proposed by his party.
The Wilders’ decision prompted the Dutch Cabinet and Prime Minister Dick Screw to resign.
The government triggered a collapse, and what happens ahead:
Why did the Wilders withdraw?
Wilders announced that their right -wing party, Freedom for Freedom (PVV), was withdrawn from the 11 -month -old Netherlands coalition government. The other three parties of the union have failed to support the plan to penetrate the shelter for refugees, Wilders said.
“There is no signature under our asylum plans. I have left the PVV union,” Wilders wrote a brief meeting with party leaders at the X post on Tuesday. In addition to the PVV, the union includes the People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), Farmer-City Movement (BBB) and a new social agreement (NSC).
On May 26, Wilders announced a 10-point plan to cut migration widely, assign army officers at the Dutch land borders, and reject all shelter. The Wilders threatened that their party would leave the union if the immigration policy was not tough.
The four parties have assembled 88 of the country’s 150 -seat representatives.
Planning PVV has won The latest November 2023 election, with 23 percent votes and 37 seats, is the highest number of seats in parliament at all parties.
The majority mark in the house is 76 seats. Withdrawal leaves a union with only 51 seats.
When did the scoff go down?
After the withdrawal of the Wilders, an emergency cabinet meeting was called. After this, the scoff announced that he would step down hours after the return of PVV.
“I have repeatedly told party leaders in recent times that the collapse of the cabinet is unnecessary and irresponsible,” Scuf said at an emergency cabinet meeting. “We are facing major challenges at the national and international level. It needs a crucial need for us.”
How did other Dutch leaders respond?
Other leaders of the union called the Wilders a “irresponsible” and blamed them for putting their own political interests ahead of the country.
“There is a war on our continent. Instead of facing the challenge, the Wilders are showing that they are not willing to take responsibility,” said VVD leader Dilan Yesilgoz, who has 24 seats at home.
“It is irresponsible to put down the government at this time,” said NSC leader Nikolian Van Vrunhoven Wilders. The NSC has 20 seats.
Opposition chief Greenleft-Labor Alliance France Timmmermans said, “There is no other way to create a stable government.”
What is next?
The scof is now submitting his resignation to the nation’s head Dutch King Willem-Alexander. After this, it is expected to call elections. Elections are likely to be held in October or November based on previous cycles.
Surveys show that by May 31, Wilders PVV has lost its support slightly, with 23 percent in the 2023 election.
It brings the party equally to the Greenleft-Labor Alliance, which has 19 per cent support and has 25 seats in the lower house of Parliament, which is the second largest number of seats after PVV.
It is difficult for the Netherlands to win to which party wins in the election. It is unlikely that a single party will win a 76 -seat majority and it takes months to form the union. According to the Dutch Election Authority, no party won a majority after the first direct election in 1848.
What happens until the election?
“He and other ministers will continue their seats in the government until the new government is formed after the election,” Schof said.
There has been a political crisis as it decided to host the Netherlands NATO leaders’ summit in Hague on June 24-25. Nato’s current general secretary Mark Rutte was the Prime Minister of the Netherlands from 2010 to 2024. Rutte was associated with VVD.
The scof was also involved European efforts Supporting Ukraine in the war against Russia. In February, Dutch PM A Gathering Leaders with other European leaders in Paris pledged to provide security guarantees to Ukraine.
