Political chaos has gripped the Netherlands as the coalition government led by Prime Minister Dick Schoof collapsed overnight, following a surprise withdrawal by the right-wing Party for Freedom.
The party’s decision came after months of infighting over immigration reform, EU policies, and military spending. Dutch media reported that Schoof’s last-minute attempt to hold the coalition together failed in a tense cabinet meeting.

Schoof’s government will now serve in a caretaker capacity until elections can be held later this year, but uncertainty looms. NATO allies have raised concerns about whether the Netherlands can maintain its commitments, especially in Ukraine support and defense coordination.
Protests broke out in The Hague shortly after the announcement, with citizens demanding early elections and transparency.
