Netherlands to hold general elections on Oct 29: minister

The Hague, June 6 (UNI) The Netherlands will hold new general elections on Oct. 29, outgoing Minister of the Interior and Kingdom Relations Judith Uitermark announced Friday. The Dutch government collapsed earlier this week.
The Electoral Council proposed the date to the outgoing minister, who accepted the recommendation and submitted it to the Council of Ministers the same day. The council approved the proposal, making the election date official.
After the government fell on Tuesday, members of the House of Representatives pushed for new elections as soon as possible. Until then, the outgoing caretaker cabinet without the Party for Freedom (PVV), which withdrew from the coalition over disagreements on migration policy, will continue handling day-to-day affairs.
