(Dutch News) An MP for the Dutch free-market liberal party VVD has said that the time is right to potentially link up with Geert Wilders’s far-right PVV in a new cabinet.
Ruben Brekelmans said in an interview with EW magazine that the party still has “fundamental” objections to Wilders and his political style and policies, but that this did not necessarily prohibit an alliance on asylum policy.
“If you want to enact tough policies, you can’t keep on making compromise deals with the left,” Brekelmans, who is the party’s parliamentary spokesman on immigration, told the magazine. “Then it might be necessary to work out solutions with Geert Wilders.”
