What the sources establish

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

Established: PVV quit on 3 June 2025. Schoof resigned the same day.

Not established: A unique later asylum-stock integer as size, or that he authored Wilders’s walkout.

Sharing the rupture with Wilders is not a reason to drop 3 June 2025.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies PVV quits Schoof cabinet over asylum; Schoof resigns, not a later speech about PVV quits Schoof cabinet over asylum; Schoof resigns.

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 resigned as prime minister after PVV quit. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
