Geert Wilders’ Party Pulls out of Dutch Coalition over Asylum Plans

ER Editor: The Dutch News story below (MSM alert) makes Wilders’ decision to collapse the coalition government a little hasty. A reminder that this is the first time Wilders’ party (PVV) has been part of a government. And now it’s his party that brings it all down. Coincidence much?

BREAKING: The Dutch government just fell. @geertwilderspvv has left the coalition because he doesn’t want to compromise on immigration.

This is the way. If you ask me he should’ve done it months ago, but better late than never.

Close the border and start Remigration!

Dutch government collapses after Geert Wilders’ far-right party quits

********

The Dutch government collapsed on Tuesday morning after Geert Wilders, leader of the far right PVV, stepped out of the coalition after failing to have his own way over asylum.

“No signature for our asylum plans, no changes to the main coalition agreement. The PVV is leaving the coalition,” Wilders said on social media.

At a press conference last week, Wilders presented a 10-point plan to cut migration by enlisting the army to secure and patrol the borders, close refugee accommodation facilities and send home all Syrian refugees on the grounds that the country is no longer high-risk.

On Monday he demanded the three other party leaders “add their signatures” to the plans and ensure some measures are realised in a few weeks. Otherwise, he said, he would quit.

The four parties met on Monday evening and again on Tuesday morning, where Wilders said he was leaving.

BBB leader Caroline van der Plas said she was extremely angry and described Wilders’ action as “irresponsible”.

“He has all the trumps in his hand and yet he just pulls the plug,” she told reporters. (ER: Curious choice of language)

Nicolien van Vroonhoven, who replaced Pieter Omtzigt as head of the NSC, said the decision is “incomprehensible”, while Dilan Yesilgöz, leader of the second biggest coalition party, the VVD, said there was no difference of opinion between the parties.

“We had a right-wing majority and he lets it all go for his ego,” she told reporters. “He’s just doing what he wants.”

The PVV leader also called for EU quotas on asylum to be suspended temporarily and a total ban on children and other family members joining refugees who are already in the Netherlands.

He said his party, which is the largest in parliament with 37 of the 150 seats, would no longer support the four-way coalition unless significant progress was made before the summer.
