Leiden University professor Uri Rosenthal, the man appointed by queen Beatrix to begin putting together a new coalition government for the Netherlands, is to look at an alliance between the right-wing Liberals and anti-Islam PVV as his first priority.

Beatrix has reported urged Rosenthal not to take too long given ‘the difficult situation the country is in’.
If it becomes clear the VVD and PVV can work together, he will then talk to the Christian Democrats about their support for a right-wing coalition. Such a coalition would have just 76 out of 150 seats in parliament.
CDA
In addition, at the weekend a number of prominent CDA members said they would not agree with the formation of a cabinet including the PVV, whose leader Geert Wilders wants the Koran banned and a tax on the wearing of Muslim headscarves.
Former foreign affairs minister Peter Kooijmans said in the NRC such a coalition would be ‘unacceptable’ while a number of MPs are threatening to quit the party, the Volkskrant says.
On Monday Rosenthal will hold talks with the leaders of the 10 parties represented in parliament, starting with those which made gains in last Wednesday’s general election: the PVV, VVD, D66 and GroenLinks.
VVD leader Mark Rutte, who is set to be the new prime minister of the Netherlands, wants a new coalition in place by July 1.
