Geert Wilders’ hopes of becoming prime minister of the Netherlands are becoming dimmer in the face of challenges to forming a coalition government. No one expected the talks to be free of obstacles since Wilders’ sweeping election victory in November, but now they’ve broken down altogether. Pieter Omtzigt, leader of the center-right New Social Contract (NSC), walked away from negotiations, thus stymieing “efforts to assemble a working alliance for his Party for Freedom (PVV).” While CNBC reported the reason for breakdown in coalition talks as “shock” over “the state of public finances” and “different financial expectations,” Islam has been a central issue, even if not the only issue.
Geert Wilders Coalition Talks Collapse, Leaving No Clear Path Forward
Anti-Islamification populist Geert Wilders emerged the leader of the largest party and likely next Prime Minister from the November election, but Dutch coalition formation is infamously torturous and now a key party has walked away from the negotiating table.
Nieuw Sociaal Contract, (New Social Contract, NSC) a newly formed centre-right populist party focused on state reform to enhance good government, fiscal responsibility, and welfare dramatically walked away from the coalition negotiation process this week, citing fiscal concerns. The leaders of the other three political parties in talks to form the next Dutch government reacted with surprise and even dismay at the development, calling it unexpected and saying they read about it in the national news before they heard about it from the NSC themselves.
This is what population replacement looks like. Europe’s political class is the enemy of the people.
