Dutch right-wing leader Wilders’ party leaves government coalition over immigration
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The party of populist Dutch political leader Geert Wilders abruptly left the country’s governing coalition on Tuesday over a dispute about immigration, a move that brings down the government after less than a year in office, which will now likely trigger snap elections.
Wilders, who leads the Party for Freedom (PVV) and is a hardliner on immigration, was demanding 10 tougher asylum measures — including a freeze on applications and limits on family reunification — which were not agreed to by the other three coalition partners.
In a stunning move, Wilders said his party was pulling out because the other three ruling parties were not willing to support his ideas on halting asylum migration.

«No signature under our asylum plans… The PVV leaves the coalition,» Wilders said in a post on X.
Wilders, the so-called «Dutch Donald Trump,» said he had informed Prime Minister Dick Schoof that all ministers from his PVV party would quit the government. Schoof has not yet reacted to the resignation.
Some proposals Wilders was pushing were already part of government policy, like enhanced border controls, but he also demanded the stripping of citizenship from people with a double passport, a proposal critics said undermined fundamental rights, according to the Dutch outlet de Volkskrant.
Wilders also grew frustrated with the lack of progress from his own asylum minister, Marjolein Faber, who was responsible for delaying the repeal of the scatter bill — a law designed to distribute asylum seekers more evenly across municipalities — and the House is still awaiting consideration of its first asylum laws, the outlet reported. Wilders viewed the scatter bill as a symbol of a failed asylum policy and a threat to Dutch identity.

GERMANY POISED TO GET NEW CONSERVATIVE CHANCELLOR FRIEDRICH MERZ
Last week, Wilders demanded that the army be used to guard land borders and turn away all asylum-seekers. He said at the time that if immigration policy is not toughened up, his party «is out of the Cabinet» and made good on the pledge on Tuesday.
«I signed up for the toughest asylum policy and not the downfall of the Netherlands,» Wilders told reporters.
It was unclear what would happen next. The government could attempt to remain in power as a minority administration or call new elections for later this year. Schoof called an emergency Cabinet meeting for early afternoon.
Wilders won the most recent election in November 2023 with a surprisingly wide margin of 23% of the vote, but recent polls indicate he has lost some support since joining the government.
Polls put his party at around 20% of the vote now, on par roughly with the Labour/Green combination that is currently the second-largest in parliament.
Dilan Yesilgöz, leader of the right-wing People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy, said Wilder’s move was «super-irresponsible» and said he was «shocked» by it.

It comes as right-wing parties continue to surge across Europe in line with EU skepticism and growing anger over mass immigration and economic anxiety.
For instance, Poland has elected Karol Nawrocki, a conservative backed by President Donald Trump, in the country’s presidential runoff election, while the Czech Republic’s eurosceptic opposition leader Andrej Babis, a former prime minister, leads opinion polls before an October election.
Meanwhile, the right-wing Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) in Germany has also surged to become the second-largest party in some national polls.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams dropped out of the city’s mayoral race on Sunday, halting his re-election campaign just five weeks before Election Day.
Adams announced his decision in a nearly nine-minute video posted on social media, offering no clues about his plans after leaving office.
ZOHRAN MAMDANI LANDS KEY ENDORSEMENT IN NEW YORK CITY MAYORAL RACE
«It’s been an honor to be your mayor,» Adams said in his announcement, as he highlighted what he described as achievements related to crime reduction, housing affordability and economic recovery during his time in office.

«And yet despite all that we have achieved, I cannot continue my re-election campaign,» he said, adding that he was unable to raise the funds for a «serious campaign.»
The move followed weeks of speculation he might clear the way for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in a contest where Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, has gained momentum.

Adams has also trailed both Mamdani and Cuomo significantly in campaign fundraising and spending.
Mamdani framed Adams’ exit as a pivotal moment, pledging that voters in November will «turn the page on the politics of big money and small ideas.»
«Donald Trump and his billionaire donors might be able to determine Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo’s actions but they will not dictate the results of this election,» Mamdani wrote in a statement.

Meanwhile, Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa’s campaign framed him as the strongest challenger to Mamdani.
«Curtis Sliwa is the only candidate who can defeat Mamdani. Our team, our resources, and our funding are unmatched,» campaign spokesperson Daniel Kurzyna wrote in a statement.
Cuomo’s campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Adams’ exit comes as New York City eyes the potential election of 33-year-old democratic socialist upstart Mamdani.
Mamdani’s ascent has drawn national notice: President Donald Trump told reporters earlier this month he’d «like to see two people drop out» of the NYC mayoral race to improve the chances of beating Mamdani.

The Trump administration has slammed Mamdani’s economic agenda, casting it as a threat to business and growth. The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Mamdani has placed affordability at the center of his campaign to lead America’s largest city, pitching ideas such as free buses, city-owned grocery stores, and rent freezes for tenants in rent-stabilized apartments.

Those proposals have energized progressive voters but rattled Wall Street, where executives warn they could drive investment out of New York and weaken the city’s tax base.
TREASURY’S BESSENT WARNS NYC: NO BAILOUT UNDER MAMDANI – ‘DROP DEAD’
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Wednesday that Mamdani’s proposals risk driving New York City into financial crisis, warning that if the city turns to Washington for a bailout, it won’t receive one.
«You can’t enact policies like this and expect to be bailed out,» Bessent said during an interview with FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo on «Mornings with Maria.»

«And are you going to give them that bailout?» Bartiromo pressed.
«It will be the same thing that Gerald Ford said. Drop dead,» Bessent said.

Rodrigo Paz, candidato a presidente de Bolivia: “Voy a gobernar para todos, sin crisis económica y con plena vigencia de la justicia”
(Desde Washington, Estados Unidos) Rodrigo Paz es consciente de su responsabilidad institucional: sabe que si vence a su adversario Jorge Quiroga en la segunda vuelta del 19 de octubre, será el líder de un cambio histórico en Bolivia. Atrás quedaría un proyecto geopolítico urdido por Evo Morales y Luis Arce, que actuaron como proxies regionales de China, Irán y Rusia.
Ese proyecto apoyado por Beijing, Teherán y Moscú no sólo tuvo implicancias en América Latina, sino profundas consecuencias en la política doméstica. Bolivia sufre una crisis económica sin antecedentes, en un país que se caracterizaba por sus riquezas energéticas.
“Habrá combustible inmediato para toda Bolivia, y voy a plantear una reforma a los combustibles que sea sostenida y bien focalizada”, explicó Paz a Infobae.
El gobierno de Arce deja en la vera del camino a miles de camioneros, con su obvio impacto en el abastecimiento cotidiano. El candidato del Partido Demócrata Cristiano ganó -por sorpresa- en la primera vuelta rumbo al balotaje, con su discurso electoral vinculado a las necesidades básicas de la sociedad boliviana.
Pero en sus 72 horas en DC, Paz también explicó su agenda internacional, asumiendo que América Latina es clave para los Estados Unidos.
El candidato mantuvo reuniones con funcionarios del Departamento de Estado, la Secretaría del Tesoro y el Congreso. Bolivia es una preocupación para Washington, y Paz dejó en claro que los actuales alineamientos diplomáticos e ideológicos de Arce -y en su momento Morales- serán descartados si vence en los comicios del 19 de octubre.
“Mi relación con Donald Trump será cordial y esperemos que cercana, siempre buscando que cualquier relación sea lo mejor para Bolivia”, sostuvo Paz.
A continuación, el reportaje exclusivo que Paz ofreció a Infobae:
-¿Si gana las elecciones, cuáles serían sus primeras tres medidas de gobierno vinculadas a la política doméstica?
-Combustible disponible inmediato para toda Bolivia, que incluya una reforma de subsidios a los combustibles, sostenible y bien focalizada con compensaciones desde el día uno de mi gobierno.
-¿Y a continuación?
-La reducción del déficit fiscal. De 3 a cuatro puntos porcentuales.
-¿Y la tercera medida urgente?
-Unificación cambiaria a favor de la población: una sola cotización, según las reservas, con coordinación fiscal y monetaria.
–¿Cómo cree que reaccionará la sociedad boliviana con esas medidas económicas?
-Nosotros somos los únicos que garantizamos gobernabilidad y una unidad de todos los bolivianos. Sabemos que nos acompañará el pueblo, no tengo dudas de ello.
-¿Usted propone un plan de ajuste?
–No será un ajuste sólo para hacer un ajuste. Yo voy a implementar un capitalismo para todos, un capitalismo con mucha sensibilidad social y comprensión de las diferencias.
-Si usted triunfa, se encontrará con un escenario político vinculado a casos de corrupción. Habrán sido 20 años de un proyecto hegemónico, adonde se denunciaron negociados y vínculos muy profundos con el narcotráfico. En este contexto, ¿cómo piensa actuar?
–En mi gobierno habrá justicia por igual para todos los ciudadanos. No habrá amnistías ni salvoconductos. Todos deberán hacerse cargo de enfrentar la justicia , y como presidente voy a respetar sus fallos.
-¿Cómo imagina su relación con la oposición, y más que nada con la estructura política controlada Evo Morales y Luis Arce?
-La mayor parte de la oposición nos acompañó al viaje que hicimos a Estados Unidos, por lo que han entendido muy bien que debemos trabajar en conjunto y enfrentar esta crisis.
-¿Y con Arce y Morales cómo hará?
-Con respecto a Evo y Arce, su estructura política está diezmada, solo tendrán 8 diputados de 130. Los que van a tener que pensar cómo se relacionarán, son ellos.
-¿Cómo analiza la situación de América Latina?
-Compleja, atravesando un momento crítico por lo que representa Venezuela y sus socios, y la resolución de este caso puntualmente.
¿Cómo será su relación con Nicolás Maduro?
–No tendremos ningún tipo de relación con Maduro. Sí tendremos relaciones con el pueblo de Venezuela, y en especial cuando finalmente esté instaurado un gobierno legítimo.
-¿Qué opina de la decisión de Donald Trump de combatir los carteles de la droga que operan en Venezuela? Por ejemplo, el Cartel de los Soles.
-Muy bien. El narcotráfico es un flagelo que trasciende fronteras y hay que enfrentarlo.
¿Cómo será su relación con Donald Trump?
-Cordial y esperemos que cercana, siempre buscando que cualquier relación sea lo mejor para Bolivia.
-¿Y con el Cono Sur?
-Vamos a tener relación con todos. Primará la diplomacia, no la ideología. Bolivia se abrirá al mundo. Esa es mi idea, mi concepto de la política exterior.
