The far-right PVV party, led by Geert Wilders, has withdrawn from the Dutch coalition government over disputes regarding migration policy, prompting fresh elections before the year ends. Outgoing Prime Minister Dick Schoof will act as the caretaker leader during this tumultuous period. Analysts are questioning whether Wilders can secure the prime minister position, given his controversial political history and a tendency to withdraw from difficult situations. The Netherlands typically requires coalition building for political success, raising doubts about Wilders' future.
"I intend to become the next prime minister," he said. Outgoing Prime Minister Dick Schoof will lead a caretaker government in The Hague until a new vote is held.
This all looks bad on Wilders. He supported the Rutte government, but his decision to withdraw makes him appear like a responsibility shirker.
