Will Geert Wilders' gamble to withdraw from governing Dutch coalition pay off? | Inside Story
He has been dubbed the 'Dutch Donald Trump'.Geert Wilders has pulled his Party for Freedom or PVV - out of the coalition that governs the Netherlands in a row over immigration policy.
It has plunged the NATO ally into political turmoil and new elections.
After years in opposition, the PVV won most votes in 2023 by tapping into rising populism in Europe with promises to reduce immigration.
He has pushed for a10-point plan that calls for the militarization of Dutch borders as well as the repatriation of all Syrian nationals - something his coalition partners rejected.
Before resigning - Prime Minister Dick Schoof labelled Wilders actions 'irresponsible' - coming at a critical time for Europe.
So was this a reckless or strategic move by Wilders?
And will it deepen uncertainty in the region, only weeks before a NATO summit in The Hague?
