“The sun will shine again in the Netherlands” – POLITICO

The four leaders finally agreed on a proposal on Wednesday afternoon, which then had to receive the green light from their own parliamentary factions. Shortly before midnight, the VVD was the last of the four parties to approve the agreement.

Wilders has notably not yet announced his candidate for prime minister, after distancing himself under pressure from his coalition partners during the negotiations.

The coalition agreement, which is a rather short 26 pages by Dutch standards, outlines plans to curb migration and reverse measures to limit nitrogen emissions that have led to protests among farmers.

“We want to reverse the far too large influx of asylum seekers and immigrants. We want farmers, gardeners and fishermen to have a future again,” the document reads.
