News brief

A far-right European leader quit his coalition over immigration. The Dutch government collapsed Tuesday when Geert Wilders withdrew his far-right Party for Freedom. The country is headed for new elections less than a year after the coalition took power. The Party for Freedom’s victory in the last election was a historic high-water mark for the Dutch far right, but Mr. Wilder has criticized the coalition for failing to deliver “the strictest asylum policy ever.” Other leaders in the coalition accuse Mr. Wilders of making unrealistic demands and abandoning the effort to find practical answers. – Staff
