Overview

• Wilders withdrew the PVV from a four-way coalition last week, demanding rapid enactment of a strict asylum policy.
• VVD leader Dilan Yesilgoz branded Wilders an “incredibly unreliable partner” and pledged her party will not cooperate with him.
• In response, Wilders unveiled a 10-point plan proposing border closures for asylum seekers and deportation of dual nationals convicted of crimes.
• Prime Minister Dick Schoof will continue in a caretaker capacity until a new cabinet is formed.
• Latest polls indicate a close three-way race between the PVV, the VVD and a Green/Left bloc as parties prepare for the October vote.
