The Netherlands will hold the general elections on 29. October after the government of the Prime Minister of Shush fell this week, the National News Agency ANP reported, referring to the temporary government.
The parliamentary elections will be held on March 29. October, confirmed the Interior Minister Judith Uitithark after the Session of the Council of Ministers. The election panel proposed the date, and the VNG, the Association of Municipalities in the country, supported the proposal. The organization and implementation of the elections will cost around 105m euros, the VNG said today.
The First Government of Prime Minister Dick Schoofa fell this week after the head of the right-wing party PVV Geert Wilders withdrew support to the ruling coalition of the four parties. He justified his decision with a lack of development of strict policy regarding asylum, migration and immigration, although his party gave Minister responsible for that question.
The schedule of the announcement also made a little probable that the new elections for the Tweede Kamer, the lower home of the parliament, to schedule before the end of the octrobra. Due to the beginning of the summer holidays, which begin in the southern third of the country, the short autumn vacation in October, which parties need for the preparation and time that municipalities need for the organization of the process, the reliable council was recognized.
According to Uitermark, the selected date is a “combination of urgency,” as requested by parliament. It is not possible before, also because of autumn holidays. Usually the competent authorities have nine months for the preparation of the elections, but now it is half.
Although the date of 29. October, municipalities must also take into account the process of preparing local elections six months later, 18. March.
– It is important that the election date is actually 29. October, not before, but even later – VNG said. The final date is likely to be published during the day.
