‘After 5 months a right-wing government has finally been formed!’ — Eva Vlaardingerbroek

During the first press conference Wilders announced he’ll be introducing the “toughest immigration policy the nation has ever seen”.

His party, the PVV, will govern with 3 other centrist and moderately right-wing parties.

They reached an agreement that included the abolishment of indefinite asylum permits. Another big promise is that asylum seekers who have been rejected will be “deported as much as possible, including by force.” Also, status holders will no longer be given priority in the allocation of social housing. Automatic family reunification will also be scrapped.

Furthermore, the government will “seek permission” from the European Commission to opt out from the European asylum and migration policy.

With regards to the farmers: the government pledges to “pull out all the stops” to change the European directives targeting farmers.

The coalition wants no forced shrinkage of livestock. Nor should there be any forced expropriation. However, they think there still should be “generous voluntary buyouts” and full commitment to innovation in agriculture.

Other measures include lowering taxes, building 100.000 new houses per year, making childcare effectively free and many more.

Of course, nothing in politics is ever perfect: For instance, we’ll continue to send support Ukraine and the government won’t deviate from the already established climate goals – but it is absolutely a huge step in the right direction.
