# PVV quits Schoof cabinet over asylum; Schoof resigns

Date: 2025

## The fact

On 3 June 2025 [Geert Wilders](/people/geert-wilders)’s PVV quit the Dutch coalition, accusing partners of failing to back tougher asylum rules. Prime Minister [Dick Schoof](/people/dick-schoof) called the collapse unnecessary and irresponsible and handed his resignation to King Willem-Alexander. PVV ministers left.

## Context

He was still prime minister that morning. Wilders is live. The cabinet continued demissionary until 23 February 2026.

3 June 2025 PVV exit and resignation. Stored as one 3 June 2025 Fact. Keep PVV quits Schoof cabinet over asylum; Schoof resigns on 2025-06-03 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. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is the owned asylum-cabinet driver: a completed collapse on the asylum programme the cabinet had fronted.

## What is established and what is not

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.

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 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. PVV quits Schoof cabinet over asylum; Schoof resigns on 2025-06-03 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 PVV quits Schoof cabinet over asylum; Schoof resigns into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He resigned as prime minister after PVV quit. Sharing the rupture with Wilders is not a reason to drop 3 June 2025. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
