Wilders’s exit isn’t the problem but rather ia symptom of a broken coalition that failed to act on migration despite overwhelming public concern. Like much of Europe, the government stalled, watered down proposals, and ignored voters. When promises are buried under endless negotiations, walking away becomes the only honest response. This collapse is on the coalition’s inaction, not Wilders’s resolve.
