Geert Wilders told reporters on Monday evening he would take the night to consider his options after his three coalition partners declined to adopt his latest plan for stricter immigration rules.

“It does not look good,” the PVV leader said after the four parties met to discuss his proposals.

Following the hour-long meeting, VVD, NSC and BBB said many of the things Wilders wanted were already in the coalition agreement and it was up to PVV immigration minister Marjolein Faber to speed up implementing them.

“We are already doing some, some we could have done if Faber had made more progress. No one blocks you politically,” VVD leader Dilan Yesilgöz told reporters after the meeting.

At a press conference last week, Wilders presented a 10-point plan to cut migration by enlisting the army to secure and patrol the borders, close refugee accommodation facilities and send home all Syrian refugees on the grounds that the country is no longer high-risk.

The PVV leader also called for EU quotas on asylum to be suspended temporarily and a total ban on children and other family members joining refugees who are already in the Netherlands.

He said his party, which is the largest in parliament with 37 of the 150 seats, would no longer support the four-way coalition unless significant progress was made before the summer.

Legal experts have warned that many of the plans conflict with European human rights laws or the UN refugee convention of 1951, such as sending all Syrian refugees home within six months even though the government has not declared Syria a safe country.

Others, such as abolishing the so-called “spreading law” which requires local councils to accommodate a minimum number of asylum seekers, are already in the coalition agreement, but Faber has so far been unable to steer the relevant laws through parliament.
