Dutch government collapses after far-right leader quits coalition

Dutch government collapses after far-right leader quits coalition
The Dutch government has collapsed after far-right leader Geert Wilders abruptly quit the ruling coalition, leaving his partners furious and forcing the country toward snap elections. It’s a messy political breakdown that throws the Netherlands into uncertainty—just months after Wilders’ surprise election win.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just political drama—it’s a sign of how fragile governing coalitions can be when they include divisive figures like Wilders. With Europe already grappling with rising far-right influence, this upheaval could ripple beyond Dutch borders, testing stability in a key EU player. For voters, it means yet another election and more uncertainty about the country’s direction.
