The Netherlands will become isolated if anti-immigration party PVV has any say in government, foreign affairs minister Uri Rosenthal told nu.nl in an interview on Thursday.

‘Wilders wants to cancel our payments to the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank,’ Rosenthal said. ‘The only country not participating in these organisations is the Vatican City and if we follow suit we will greatly damage our international position, including economically,’ the minister said.
The PVV manifesto says no more money should go to the United Nations as long as it includes islamic countries. According to the government’s macro-economic forecasting think-tank CPB, the €3.5bn the PVV wants to cut from the development aid budget would also mean there would be no money for membership of the other two international organisations.
Rosenthal says Wilders’ plan is ‘too mad for words’ and that the move would put the Netherlands ‘out of play’.
