Geert Wilders, leader of the Dutch populist party PVV, is pushing for tax cuts and prioritizing the needs of Dutch citizens over spending on Ukraine and climate change. This stance has created a rift within the Dutch coalition government, with Wilders' party at odds with the VVD, who control the finance ministry and advocate for fiscal responsibility.
The Dutchman must be the first priority for the Dutch government, says populist leader Geert Wilders, as he decries ringfenced spending for Ukraine and the climate that could stop him cutting taxes to put more money in the voter’s pocket as he wishes.
These “left-liberal” obsessions are standing in the way of the government doing something good for its own people, Wilders blasted this week. Wanting to cut taxes to compensate taxpayers for soaring inflation — energy taxes are particularly in his sights, it is stated — Wilders took to social media on Wednesday to declare: “I want us to finally put the Dutch first. Many are struggling, life is getting more expensive.
The priority of the government should be its citizens, he said, stating it is wrong to “leave the Dutch out in the cold” while spending money on Ukraine., the Netherlands — a country of 18 million — is giving in the region of $10 billion in support to Ukraine.
