We hebben een serieus
probleem met de politieke ontwikkelingen mbt de dwangwet en ik hoop dat dat de
komende dagen kan worden opgelost.
Geert Wilders has a serious problem
Dutch coalition talks have hit a stumbling block:
migration.

First
things first: We’re not even close to a record.
The longest
it’s taken the Dutch to form a government is 299 days, beginning in March 2021
and concluding nearly 10 months later.
It looks
like they’re already at it again. Some two months after Geert Wilders’
far-right Party for Freedom (PVV) overturned the political landscape with
potential consequences for the rest of Europe, he’s still struggling to form a
ruling coalition.
And this
time, as the clock ticks on, things are becoming more — not less — complicated.
Or, as
Wilders put it recently in a post on the social media platform X: “We hebben
een serieus probleem.”
Hold on.
Rewind?
In
November, the PVV won the most votes in the general election.
In light of
the results, the most straightforward coalition appeared to be one led by
Wilders, with the support of outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s People’s
Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), the centrist New Social Contract (NSC)
and the right-wing populist Farmer-Citizen Movement (BBB).
Crucially,
the parties appear to be mostly in agreement on the issue of migration, a key
topic during the election campaign.
In short,
it looked like a piece of cake for the informateur.
