(Dutch News) Geert Wilders has threatened to pull his far-right PVV party out of the Dutch government unless the cabinet drastically steps up measures to cut asylum within weeks.
Wilders called on the four coalition parties to renegotiate the deal that they agreed when they took office a year ago, with a promise to deliver the “harshest asylum policy ever.”
“Our patience has run out,” Wilders told a press conference in The Hague. “The voters who made the PVV the biggest party have the right to a cabinet that delivers, especially on asylum and immigration.”
Wilders presented a 10-point plan to cut migration by enlisting the army to secure and patrol the borders, close refugee accommodation facilities and send home all Syrian refugees on the grounds that the country is no longer high-risk.
