Netherlands to hold election on October 29, ANP reports

The Netherlands announced snap elections to be held on 29 October after Prime Minister Dick Schoof's government fell.
The government collapsed when Geert Wilders' Party for Freedom withdrew support over a rejected 10-point anti-migration plan.
Wilders demanded measures including military border patrols, asylum refusals at entry, suspension of family reunification, and deportation of Syrians.
Wilders announced withdrawal of his party's ministers while the four-party coalition, formed after November 2023 elections, refused to sign the plan.
Schoof will lead a caretaker government until the vote, after which a new coalition will be formed to replace the fallen cabinet.
