Read the full account
On 2 July 2024 King Willem-Alexander swore Dick Schoof as prime minister of the Netherlands and swore the PVV–VVD–NSC–BBB cabinet. PVV ministers entered office for the first time. Geert Wilders remained outside as kingmaker.
Context
He was an independent former AIVD director. Wilders and Rutte are live. Formation had taken 223 days after the 22 November 2023 election.
2 July 2024 oath. Stored as one 2 July 2024 Fact. Keep Schoof sworn prime minister of a PVV–VVD–NSC–BBB cabinet on 2024-07-02 separate from neighbouring 2 July 2024 oath and 3 June 2025 collapse.
The Dutch prime minister can swear a cabinet and resign to the King. He does not sit as PVV leader, as every migration minister, or as the Tweede Kamer. A 2 July 2024 oath is not authorship of every later asylum circular. Sharing a coalition with Geert Wilders is not a reason to drop 3 June 2025.
Why it matters
The path is the owned asylum-cabinet driver: a completed oath installing PVV ministers under an independent PM.

Evidence
The sources behind this fact and its verification state.

- 2.Rijksoverheid — Kabinet-Schoof, beëdiging 2 July 2024Rijksoverheid · High credibility · verified
What the sources establish
Rijksoverheid carries the official instrument or communique. BBC News records the same dated act independently.
Established: He swore as prime minister on 2 July 2024. PVV ministers were sworn.
Not established: A unique later asylum-stock integer as size, or that he was PVV leader.
Sharing the cabinet with Wilders’s ministers is not a reason to drop 2 July 2024.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Schoof sworn prime minister of a PVV–VVD–NSC–BBB cabinet, not a later speech about Schoof sworn prime minister of a PVV–VVD–NSC–BBB cabinet.
Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He accepted the premiership. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
