The new Dutch governmentwhich includes far-right Geert Wilders’ Freedom Party (PVV), will seek to opt out of EU immigration rules as it says it faces a migration crisis.

Wilders on Wednesday reached an agreement to form the most right-wing government the Netherlands has seen in decades, almost six months after his party’s landslide victory in parliamentary elections.

In government plans, released this morning, the four-party coalition says it will seek to adopt “the strictest asylum regime”, with strengthened border controls and tougher rules for asylum seekers arriving in the Netherlands.

“A proposal for our exclusion from European asylum and immigration policies will be submitted to the European Commission as soon as possible,” the coalition points out in the text of the agreement.

It is not clear whether the EU will accept this request.

At the same time, the new government of the Netherlands will seek to limit the entry of migrant workers into the country, while the conditions for the study of foreigners at Dutch universities will become stricter.

The parties that reached an agreement are Wilders’ Freedom Party (PVV), the pro-farmer BBB, the liberal VVD of outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte and the new anti-corruption party NSC. In total, they hold 88 of the 150 seats in the lower house.

An independent mediator will now take over the formation of the cabinet, a process expected to take at least a month.

It is still not clear who will become prime minister, as Wilders, known for his anti-Islam views, abandoned his ambition to take on the role in March in order to bring the parties to the negotiating table.

The new Dutch government has also announced that it will continue to support Ukraine politically and militarily and that it will spend 2% of the country’s GDP on defence.
