# Schoof sworn prime minister of a PVV–VVD–NSC–BBB cabinet

Date: 2024

## The fact

On 2 July 2024 King Willem-Alexander swore [Dick Schoof](/people/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](/people/geert-wilders) remained outside as kingmaker.

## Context

He was an independent former AIVD director. Wilders and [Rutte](/people/mark-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.

## Evidence and sources

Rijksoverheid carries the official instrument or communique. BBC News records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is the owned asylum-cabinet driver: a completed oath installing PVV ministers under an independent PM.

## What is established and what is not

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.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

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. Schoof sworn prime minister of a PVV–VVD–NSC–BBB cabinet on 2024-07-02 is not a licence to treat every later Rijksoverheid communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Schoof sworn prime minister of a PVV–VVD–NSC–BBB cabinet into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He accepted the premiership. Sharing the cabinet with Wilders’s ministers is not a reason to drop 2 July 2024. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
