Geert Wilders has withdrawn support from the Dutch coalition government, led by Prime Minister Dick Schoof, after 11 months. This decision marks the end of the Freedom Party's (PVV) inaugural time in power, which came after a surprising electoral victory in 2023. Wilders' promises to reduce immigration and enforce stricter asylum policies faced numerous legal hurdles. Known for his radical rightwing populism, he closely aligns with other European far-right parties, emphasizing concerns about Islam, national identity, and sovereignty in a rapidly changing cultural landscape.
After 11 months, Wilders withdrew support for the Dutch prime minister's cabinet, bringing fresh elections and ending the PVV's first period in power.
Wilders's political platform highlights immigration, national identity, sovereignty, and stricter law enforcement, characteristic of a radical rightwing populist party.
With mass immigration changing culture and identity, Wilders warns that Islam is rising rapidly and declares, 'I do not want Islam to rise!'
The constitutional restrictions faced by the coalition made it difficult for Wilders to deliver on his promises of a strict asylum policy.
