The Netherlands will finally have a right-wing government voted for by the people and the strictest border controls in the Western world, with veteran populist and Islam skeptic Geert Wilders agreed to form a coalition partner.
Geert Wilders, who has faced threats to his life from Islamists and has lived under strict 24-hour police protection since 2004, has faced months of negotiations by four right-wing Dutch parties to form a new government. praised the success of “The sun will shine again on the Netherlands…The Netherlands will be ours again,” he said, celebrating the development. The document was submitted to the King of the Netherlands on Thursday afternoon.
Wilders, a former Breitbart News guest columnist, led his party to become the largest party in the Netherlands during an unprecedented shift in last November’s national elections that plunged the establishment and the left into the depths of despair. However, sufficient results were not achieved. A seat ruled by one person. He quickly entered into negotiations with three other right-wing parties, but negotiations broke down several times due to differences of opinion on political facts, leading to concerns that attempts to form a government and eliminate the left wing party might fail. There were concerns.

A major 26-page interim agreement, titled “Hope, Courage and Pride”, has now been agreed by all four parties, and will begin the actual process of forming a government and selecting a cabinet. Here is one of the major compromises made by Dutch political veteran Geert Wilders. After being in the wilderness for so long, he is now in charge of the country’s largest political party and had to give up his chance to become prime minister in order to maintain another coalition. My partner is happy.
Notably, to avoid this impasse and make the deal fair for all four parties, none of the parties will seek to send their own politicians to power. It appears that the ministerial positions and the prime minister’s position will be held by “technocrats” (non-politicians, typically academics or economists) who carry out government programs dictated by the four.
Mr Wilders has promised major immigration reform, which is a priority area for his party and other coalition governments. The 26-page preliminary document lays out the vast scope of envisioned changes to the immigration system, itemizing a long list of planned changes. . The document lays out the foundations of a plan that would make pro-border conservatives envious, stating in its preface:
… The Netherlands is one of the most densely populated countries in Europe. [rapid and persistent population growth caused by] Immigration is putting pressure on housing, care, education, resources and the social cohesion of our country… The toughest admission system for asylum and the most comprehensive package ever to control immigration Concrete measures are being taken towards this goal. The entire asylum and immigration system is being reformed…
Coalition partners say this “toughest regime in history” and a fundamental restructuring of the entire immigration system will significantly improve conditions for eligible migrants and asylum seekers. To achieve this, the government announced an “asylum crisis” and imposed special powers, such as suspending the processing of asylum applications, so-called “asylum decision freezes” and deporting migrants without residence permits, by the following deadlines: Permits exercise for two years. Force if necessary.
🇳🇱 After 5 months, a right-wing government is finally installed! 🇳🇱
At his first press conference, Mr Wilders announced that he would introduce “the toughest immigration policies this country has ever seen”.

The incoming government says the Netherlands will have “the strictest entry rules in Europe” and will hold arrivals in “the strictest facilities possible” if migrants are found attempting to cross the border without permission or permits. The government said it would immediately deport people from the country and prevent new people from entering the country. Return the document to the other side.
Administratively, this law would reverse the current burden of proof required when determining immigration applications, so asylum seekers must prove that the state does not have a right to remain in the country. Rather than being expected to have a need, you must prove that you have the right to stay in the country. The appeals process will be shortened and rules changed to more quickly deport “nuisance” people, “criminal aliens” and “undesirable” immigrants. They said “stern action will be taken against acts of violence and nuisance” by asylum seekers who act against women, LGBT people and Christians.
But asylum seekers are only one part of the puzzle, and like many other European countries such as the UK, asylum seekers are only able to obtain legal asylum, which is allowed by lax rules put in place by globalist, open-borders governments. In immigration, asylum seekers are trivialized. The problem can be tackled by cracking down on immigration through work visas, tightening requirements on employers not to hire people for low-quality jobs, and holding employees accountable for ensuring that migrant workers learn Dutch to a high standard. It will have to be dealt with.
Similar moves are planned against abuse of education visas and family or “chain” immigration to reduce total immigration numbers.

The border control part of the document not only strengthens Dutch language requirements, but also includes policies to protect Dutch culture. Also on the horizon for the next government are requirements for foreigners who wish to become Dutch citizens to renounce their previous citizenship, restrictions on “extended prayers” such as those issued from mosques, and restrictions on honor crimes such as female genital mutilation and forced marriage. Also includes imports.
Although all four partners are more or less in agreement on tackling immigration, the influence of other parties in the coalition is perhaps more evident in the document’s remaining broad policy areas. The second-largest party in the coalition government is the centre-right establishment conservative VVD, the party of outgoing prime minister and globalist leader Mark Rutte. The party has already shown a desire to move beyond the Rutte era and when it previously dismissed the idea of working with Mr Wilders in government.
The third largest party is the NSC, a focused centre-right party that campaigns for improving the quality of politics and governance in the Netherlands, promoting healthy money and reducing mass immigration. The NSC, which criticizes neoliberalism and strong opposition, wants far-reaching political reforms to make the Netherlands more democratic, open and focused on a healthy society.
The coalition’s junior partner is perhaps the most notable, given that it took just a year to form a government. The BBB farmers’ movement was founded in direct response to outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s aggressive implementation of the European Union’s greening directive, which threatens to send a wrecking ball into Dutch agriculture for environmental goals.
The government priorities assigned to each are clear. To the BBB, a government document declares: “Our farmers, gardeners and fishermen must be cherished because they are important to our food supply and the Dutch cultural landscape and are an inseparable part of our Dutch culture.” The Union announced that it would cancel the anti-agricultural policies of the previous government and “no forced reduction in livestock numbers or forced expropriation.”
“Our government does not respond to the demands of its own people, but to globalist institutions whose interests are in controlling the food supply, allowing them to control us.”

Suspending a future ban on controversial domestic heating boilers, requiring new wind turbines to be built offshore rather than on land, and building a new generation of nuclear power plants to ensure energy security and abundance. Other areas of green policy are also showing signs of opposition. Supplying the future.
While the agreement pledges to “keep the Dutch people safe through a robust approach against crime and terrorism,” it also states that “our democratic and constitutional state is under threat from Islamic terrorism and directly undermined by organized crime.” It also points out that In terms of politics, major reforms to the electoral system are being discussed, which would see the Netherlands move from a European-style party list system to a British-style representative constituency model, with voters representing individuals representing regions rather than just political parties. You will be able to choose. label.
The concessions to the NSC will strengthen “local ties between voters and elected officials” and give the public “more of a voice,” it said.
Other important policy areas include promoting housing construction to address shortages, education reform, including that “teaching methods must be proven to be effective and politically neutral,” and public safety. , economy, etc.
Negotiations have been going on for about six months since the election, which by a considerable margin is not the longest post-election coalition negotiation in Dutch history, but there is still some way to go. A cabinet and prime minister will need to be chosen, which is likely to pose further obstacles, as NSC leader Pieter Omzicht has said. he said: “That remains important. If you want a successful government, you need a prime minister who is united.”

But Geert Wilders, the man who will become the country’s de facto leader, is optimistic. “This is very good news because we have a negotiating agreement,” he said Wednesday night in the negotiating room, before the four parties signed a document agreed by representatives. I hope we can reach it.” I think we can get there. I don’t think that’s wrong. ”
While the ruling coalition is clearly satisfied, the opposition parties are – clearly – dissatisfied and have harshly criticized the move to form a government. The centrist Christian Union accused the document of being built on “shaky foundations and a lot of wishful thinking,” Dutch broadcaster NOS reported. He criticizes the Netherlands for becoming less tolerant towards other countries. Frans Timmermans, a veteran Eurocrat who returned to Dutch politics ahead of this election with the intention of becoming prime minister, was also clearly depressed about the paper, calling it “disastrous.”
The Netherlands is so far one of the only countries in Europe to have a dedicated party for Muslims, Denk (‘Think’), and Mr Denk is worried about seeing the ‘far right’ move closer to the government. said it was a “dark day”. Strong words, perhaps, but not as strong as the Denk party spokesperson who appeared on camera on election night last year and compared the result to 9/11.
There are also early signs that the next government will face the same problem that Britain faces in its border control efforts: refugee lawyers. The Asylum Lawyers Association has reportedly warned that plans to tighten regulations violate current Dutch law and the country’s obligations to international treaties and that it believes the policy “will not stand up in court”. Ta. Netherlands.
Of course, such problems can be overcome. Australia proved that long ago with Operation Sovereign Borders. But it will require a degree of fortitude and determination, as the British government was prepared to make that sacrifice.
