Geert Wilders, of the Party for Freedom (PVV), won the general election in the Netherlands in November 2023 with a hard-line discourse against immigration and Islam. Despite this electoral success, he resigned from becoming prime minister in the face of a lack of support from his potential coalition partners. Finally, eA coalition government was formed with Wilders' party and three other parties..

Geert Wilders, leader of the Party for Freedom (PVV), has succeeded in making his proposal to radically restrict immigration one of the central pillars of the new Dutch government. He has now put forward a ten-point plan that places even more pressure on the fractured four-party coalition.

«We've taken off our gloves,» said Wilders.

Wilders said «we have taken off our gloves» and added that If the immigration policy is not toughened, his party will be left out of the cabinet.«. He warns that his patience has run out and demands that the other members of the government adopt the tough policy he has been calling for for years, which has earned him the voters' trust. He denounces that since they agreed the coalition in October he has seen no progress on this matter and is prepared to break the pact.

Some of the measures it proposes have already been adopted by other European countries, including neighbouring Germany. Others will require the Netherlands to abandon European conventions, it said.

Army and «one foul and you're out»

The measures proposed by Wilders to keep the government in power are clear and include the use of the army and a zero-tolerance policy towards any misbehaviour towards Dutch society. Specifically, Wilders's ten measures are:

  • Deploy the army on the borders to prevent migrants from entering.
  • Automatically reject all asylum applications.
  • Suspend family reunification for refugees with recognised status.
  • Deporting Syrians on temporary visas, arguing that their country is now safe.
  • Implement a «one strike and you're out» policy to deport criminals.
  • Close the reception centres for asylum seekers.
  • Reduce the number of refugees accepted through UNHCR.
  • Limit the duration of temporary visas and the associated rights.
  • Reintroduce border controls within the Schengen Area.
  • Withdraw from European treaties that hinder these measures.

The plan has generated controversy both at home and abroad. Several experts and political actors warn that these measures could violate human rights and breach international commitments. Despite this, Wilders has succeeded in making his agenda the starting point for the new Dutch government, which must now make its move.

It is now up to the ministers of the Dutch coalition to reach an agreement on the proposals before sending them to parliament for approval.
