The collapse came when the parties were unable to reach an agreement on the issue of immigration and asylum, a hot button topic for many European states.
‘Rutte’s VVD and the CDA had been pushing for a tightening of restrictions after more than 45,000 asylum applications were lodged in the country last year — with the same again expected this year — leading to a saturation of asylum and social services in major Dutch cities,’ ReMix reported.
The Trends Journal also wrote, ‘One of the stickier issues was family reunification. Rutte endorsed a plan that would put limits on the number of refugees who fled a war-torn country to 200 a month. There were attempts at compromises—including the idea of implementation of an “emergency brake” if there was a flood of migrants—but talks failed.’
In the past few days, people have speculated about what motivates me, and the only answer is: the Netherlands. My position in this regard is now completely unsuitable.
Yesterday morning I took the decision that I will no longer be available to head the VVD list. When a new government takes over, I shall leave politics.
It’s no secret that the coalition parties think very differently about asylum policy and today we unfortunately need to draw the conclusion that the differences are unbridgeable,” Rutte told a press conference on Friday evening.
The fall of a government is never good. But it is sometimes impossible in a coalition country like the Netherlands to come to one agreement.
Rutte told parliamentary colleagues.
Of course, Rutte was also integral in ushering the schemes to cull large numbers of livestock and forcibly sequester farmer’s land to meet arbitrary climate goals, something The WinePress has followed since large-scale protests broke out since last summer.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Exit stage right, Rutte, enter stage left for the next puppet.
Financial adviser and forecaster Neil McCoy-Ward made a good point in a recent vlog, where this type of thing was all planned out. Rutte did as much damage as he could, and he then is forced to withdrawal in “disgrace;” but the replacement is just going to be more of the same. We saw this in the U.K. last year when WEF puppet Liz Truss was only in for a handful of weeks, wrecked havoc, forced to resign, and then WEF puppet Rishi Sunak replaced her and did more of the same.
I know a lot of people think this will be a grand opportunity for the farmers to finally wedge their way into the government and influence some real change, and hope that happens for them, but I am noy willing to get my hopes up just yet. I am not trying to be cynical but just honest about what I see.
Nevertheless, as more of Western society collapses you are going to see a LOT more of this; such as the case with France on fire right now because of the ridiculous amount of Muslims that have been funneled in.
[10] When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting. [11] By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. Proverbs 11:10-11
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
