The Netherlands’ first far-right government fell after the populist leader Geert Wilders withdrew his party after a dispute about migration policy.
The populist Geert Wilders withdrew his right-wing party from the ruling coalition, saying partners were stalling plans for the Netherlands’ “strictest migration policy ever.”
The party of Geert Wilders, a longtime political provocateur with a history of antipathy toward immigrants and Islam, held a wide lead, according to exit polls. The result could send shock waves through Europe.
