Dutch Prime Minister Schoof steps down after Wilders quits coalition
- Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof announced his coalition government became a caretaker administration on June 3, 2025, in The Hague after Geert Wilders pulled his ministers out.
- Wilders withdrew due to disputes over a migration crackdown, citing coalition partners' failure to implement his 10-point plan for strict asylum restrictions.
- The four-party coalition, including Wilders' Party for Freedom, VVD, NSC, and BBB, faced fractious relations amid public polling showing Wilders' party still competitive.
- Schoof emphasized that both domestic and international difficulties are significant at this time, and highlighted the need for strong, timely action to protect the country’s stability and economic wellbeing.
- Following the government's collapse, the Netherlands will be governed by a caretaker administration while preparing for new elections, which are unlikely to take place before autumn, even as it readies to host a NATO summit in three weeks.
