Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte announced that he will submit his resignation “following the failure of the government coalition to reach an agreement on immigration policies.”
Rutte, who is the longest-serving prime minister in the history of the Netherlands, supervised discussions to resolve the crisis between the four partners in the coalition, which failed to reach an agreement, according to what was reported by the “NOS” and “RTL” channels and the local “ANB” agency. .
Rutte managed to stay in power for 12 years. He formed his fourth coalition in January 2022, following 271 days of negotiations.
Rutte demanded that a ceiling be set for relatives of immigrants from conflict countries that the Netherlands can receive at 200 people per month, and threatened to overthrow the government if it refused, according to local media. However, the Christian Democratic Party, which is part of the ruling coalition, strongly opposed this plan.
