(AFP) Far-right Dutch leader Geert Wilders threatened on Monday to force early elections if a landmark immigration bill did not pass quickly despite the country’s top advisory body calling for an overhaul.
For months the shaky coalition governing the Netherlands has been bickering over legislation that aims to reduce asylum claims in the country.
The cabinet has been waiting for advice from the Council of State (RvS) advisory body, which delivered a critical opinion earlier Monday.
The RvS advised the government not to submit the bill to parliament in its current form.
