De interne politiske konsekvenser som følge af nedsmeltningen af EU's økonomiske politik breder sig som ringe i vandet, og har allerede medført en høj grad af politisk ustabilitet i mange medlemslande. Turen er nu kommet til holland, og det kommende valg til Holland's 2. kammer (september?) vil sandsynligvis blive en "folkeafstemning" om Euroen og Holland's tilknytning ti Europa:
Fra KleinVerzet: The end to Danish: The dry facts
Today the Dutch experiment with the Danish form of government (a minority cabinet with support; in this case a cabinet of VVD and CDA with Wilders’ PVV in support) has ended as the PVV withdrew support. The cabinet now has no majority in Second Chamber and will in all likelihood resign, with elections being planned for (probably September). Thus ends the Danish cabinet.
[A] dry summation of DutchNews headlines:
Austerity talks collapse as Wilders walks out, election now likely
Austerity talks between the minority coalition and anti-immigration PVV collapsed on Saturday afternoon, when PVV leader Geert Wilders walked out. New elections are now on the cards, prime minister Mark Rutte told reporters.
In a news conference shortly after Wilders left the negotiations, both prime minister Mark Rutte and CDA leader blamed the collapse on the PVV leader.
‘At the last moment, the PVV was shocked about the impact of the consequences of previously made agreements,’ Rutte said. (…)
In a short statement Wilders said he could not accept that pensioners would have to pay for ‘useless’ demands from Brussels. Agreeing with the measures is ‘not in the interest of our PVV voters,’ he said.
Economists fear impact of austerity talks collapse
Economists say the collapse of talks aimed at getting the Dutch economy back on track will impact on the financial markets and could lead to the Netherlands losing its Triple A status, news agency ANP reports.
The alliance with the PVV is over. What happens next?
It is now likely that Rutte will visit queen Beatrix and tender his resignation on Monday. However, there will not be an election before the summer. In Dutch electoral law, there must be some 80 days between the collapse of a government and new elections. Given the summer holidays, it is unlikely the election will be held before September. (…)
Overshadowing the domestic situation is Brussels. A spokeswoman for president of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso said Brussels is following developments in the Netherlands closely.
News agency AP said in its coverage of the crisis that the election will be ‘a referendum on the Netherlands’ relationship with Europe and its ailing single currency’.
The latter point is one worth remembering as we head for September and new elections.
