Jetten, for example, does not find it hard to understand how PVV MP Gidi Markuszower was “left out” when tweeting when the AIVD security service investigation turned out to be wrong. Sometimes it was not worth the beauty prize how people recoiled, Wilders admitted during the debate on the government statement. But according to the PVV leader, Schoof has nothing to worry about. “I hope for a good, sometimes firm, but always confidence-inspiring relationship with the new Prime Minister,” Wilders says.
According to Laurens Dassen of Volt, the PVV has “not exactly appointed people with the highest standards of integrity” as ministers. He is referring, for example, to Minister Marjolein Faber (Asylum and Migration), who has been harshly criticised in recent weeks for having spoken in the past of repopulation, a term used in a far-right conspiracy theory.
Dassen hopes that his coalition partners, the VVD and the NSC, will no longer be able to work with the PVV. For example, the Volt leader speaks of Wilders’ recent statements on the history of slavery and Islam. “If you continue to follow that trail of destruction all the time, then you are not prepared to have a stable coalition, right?”
