Mark Rutte has been forced to resign as his party no longer has control and they can not rein in immigration. His VVD is the largest party in the Netherlands but recent polls predicted that if an election was called, it would tie with the Dutch farmers party.
🇳🇱 BREAKING: the Dutch government has COLLAPSED. FINALLY.
After 10+ years of Mark Rutte’s globalist destruction policies, we now have a real chance of getting our country back.
From what I can tell about the situation now, I think the actual fall of the cabinet itself is all…

Dutch government collapses over migration
Prime Minister Mark Rutte of the Netherlands submitted his resignation to the Dutch king, Willem-Alexander, on Friday, after the four-party ruling coalition he headed failed to reach common ground on migration policy. A caretaker cabinet will hold office until a new general election.
“Migration is a major political and social issue,” Rutte told reporters in The Hague on Friday evening. “Now that we have been unable to find agreement on this, we have collectively assessed that the political support under the coalition has disappeared.”
The four coalition members have “very different views on migration policy,” he added. “And today, unfortunately, we have to draw the conclusion that those differences are irreconcilable.”
King Willem-Alexander has been notified of the government’s resignation. Rutte will stay on as the caretaker PM until a new general election, which will probably take place in November.
