After 7 months in the Netherlands, the new government was sworn in and the country’s new prime minister became former intelligence chief Dick Schoof.
Following the general elections held in the Netherlands on November 22, 2023, 7 months later, the country’s new prime minister became former intelligence chief Dick Schoof. Schoof and his new government took office by swearing in at Huis Ten Bosch Palace in the presence of the Dutch King Willem Alexander.
In the coalition government led by Schoof, the far-right Freedom Party (PVV) of Geert Wilders, the People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), the New Social Contract Party (NSC), and the Farmer Citizen Movement Party (BBB) are included. Schoof was the fifth person proposed to lead the coalition.
Wilders did not take part in the cabinet
Wilders, who received 23.49% of the votes in the elections, could not gather the necessary support for the prime ministerial position. While Wilders did not take part in the cabinet, his party received 5 out of the 15 ministries in the cabinet, including the Ministry of Trade and the Ministry of Migration. Additionally, in the cabinet, VVD received the Ministry of Climate and Green Growth, NSC got the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and BBB took the Ministry of Housing.
With his party winning 37 seats in the parliament, Wilders is expected to be one of the most influential politicians in the parliament. With Wilders not becoming the prime minister, promises to ban the Quran, close Dutch borders, and hold referendums on the future of the Netherlands within the European Union (EU) were set aside.
