Geert Wilders, has proposed a 10-point plan aimed at radically reducing the influx of migrants. He is calling for a complete halt to the admission of refugees at the Dutch borders and has set a deadline—he wants results within a few weeks.

According to Wilders, the Dutch army should immediately turn away anyone applying for asylum at the border. If his demands are implemented, it would mark a major break from the Netherlands’ current asylum policies,

according to Exxpress.

He also wants to close the case on Syrian refugees, sending them back to their homeland, and has not ruled out deportation as a potential method. Wilders proposes a temporary halt to family reunification for those granted refugee status and plans to return Syrians who have sought asylum or are staying in the Netherlands on temporary visas, arguing that most of Syria is now safe. Migrants convicted of violent or sexual crimes must be deported, he added, calling it a “one strike and you’re out” policy.

The proposals further intensify tensions within the four-party governing coalition, which was formed after Wilders’ Freedom Party won the 2023 Dutch elections on a platform promising drastic reductions in immigration.

Wilders stated that if immigration policy does not become stricter, his party will leave the coalition. He added that after months of negotiations and a lack of anti-migration measures, his patience has run out, according to the AP.
