THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Far-right Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders announced a 10-point plan Monday that aims to radically slash migration, including using the army to guard land borders and turning away all asylum-seekers.

The proposals put further strain on the fractious four-party ruling coalition that was cobbled together after Wilders’ Party for Freedom swept to victory in a 2023 Dutch election on a platform pledging to slash migration.

Wilders has built his political career on calling for hard-line policies against Islam and migration in the Netherlands. Long in opposition, his party now has power and he said his patience has run out after months of talks and little action from the coalition to crack down on migration.

He said he wants to temporarily halt family reunions for asylum-seekers who have been granted refugee status, and to return to their home country Syrians who have applied for asylum or are in the Netherlands on temporary visas.

Wilders said some of the measures already have been adopted by other European nations, including neighboring Germany.
