US EditionDutch Government in Turmoil: What to Know
- On June 3, 2025, the Dutch government fell apart after Geert Wilders pulled his Party for Freedom ministers out of the coalition in The Hague.
- The collapse followed escalating disputes over migration policies, with Wilders pushing to freeze asylum applications and halt reception center construction.
- Prime Minister Dick Schoof resigned but remains in office heading a caretaker government composed of ministers from the three other coalition parties, managing affairs until new elections are held.
- Wilders' party won the most votes in the November 2023 election but lacked a majority, while economists note minimal immediate economic impact due to scarce policy initiatives.
- New elections are likely in autumn 2025, potentially intensifying migration debates and affecting tourism, though travel policies and daily operations currently remain stable.
