Dutch parties to propose former intelligence chief as new prime minister

Dick Schoof, the former Dutch intelligence chief, has been proposed as the prime minister of the Netherlands’ incoming right-wing government led by Geert Wilders’ nationalist PVV. The four parties forming the new government have announced a press conference with Schoof, who currently serves as a senior official at the Dutch Ministry of Justice. The new government aims for stricter migration policies and exceptions to EU asylum and environmental rules.
