Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders' withdrawal from the coalition triggers collapse of the Dutch government.

Far-right Dutch politician Geert Wilders withdrew his Party for Freedom from the ruling coalition over disagreements on immigration policy, leading to the collapse of Prime Minister Dick Schoof's 11-month-old government. This move comes weeks before the Netherlands is to host a NATO summit and has led to calls for immediate elections. Wilders was frustrated with the coalition's slow progress on his plans to restrict migration.
