Dutch government collapses as Wilders’ far-right party leaves coalition
THE HAGUE — The far-right Party for Freedom (PVV) is leaving the Netherlands’ government over its policy for asylum-seekers, its leader Geert Wilders said on Tuesday, toppling the governing coalition.“I signed up for the strictest asylum policy, not for the downfall of the Netherlands,” Wilders told reporters Tuesday morning. “And our responsibility for this cabinet therefore ends here.”Wilders’ decision to withdraw support for the most right-leaning government in Dutch history has plunged the country’s politics into chaos.

Schoof, who has clashed with Wilders over policy, has not yet commented.Polls suggest that,...
