A senior official at the Dutch Central Bank has warned that the Netherlands exiting the European Union would be a “bad idea” after far-right politician Geert Wilders’ shock election victory.
The Netherlands is an open economy which depends on trading particularly with European countries, said Olaf Sleijpen, director of monetary affairs and financial stability at the central bank. Leaving the EU would be “a very bad idea,” Sleijpen told journalists at a Monday press briefing.
