Dutch populist government to abolish asylum permits

A right-wing Dutch coalition dominated by hard-right nationalists is on course for an early confrontation with the European Union over asylum rules and environmental legislation.
The new government, which said its motto would be “hope, courage and pride”, is dominated by populists after the shock victory of Geert Wilders and his Freedom Party (PVV) in elections six months ago.
“We are making history today,” Wilders said, announcing his new coalition with three other populist and conservative parties on Thursday morning. “We will go from being the largest opposition party to the largest government party. The sun will shine again in the Netherlands.”

Well done Netherlands

[@vincentwalsh1123]

Time for Europeans to focus on putting their own people first and not people who arrive claiming asylum. I hope the rest of Europe starts to wake up, it's long over due.

Well done Holland, if only British politicians had the balls, but of course they haven’t.

It’s not populist government. It is government for the Dutch people! Big difference!!!

Bravo Dutch, European patriots! Bravo Wilders, we want our countries back, now and unconditionally! We know we must fight for our freedom.

Ireland here praying for a similar party to get in. We need to protect our people and culture. We’re being attacked by our WEF government.
