After his coalition government crumbled over a migration dispute, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, the leader of the center-right VVD party, is set to personally present his resignation to the Dutch King Willem-Alexander on Saturday.

It is worth noting that the two are anticipated to meet around 1100 GMT at the royal Huis Ten Bosch palace in a forest near The Hague.

Currently, Rutte has been leading a caretaker government while elections are expected in mid-November.

"I will catch up with him tomorrow and explain exactly what happened," said Rutte on Friday evening. 

While the King was on vacation at the time of the collapse of the government, he rushed back to the Netherlands to meet with Rutte who had served as Prime Minister since 2010.

With a poisonous concoction of concerns including migration, enraged farmers, and rising costs of living, the next election appears to be some of the most heated ones in a generation.

It was also reported that the Farmer-Citizen Movement (BBB) intended to build on its previous victory, earlier this year during senate elections, and its leader Caroline van der Plas did not rule out running for prime minister.

At the same time, tweeted a racist statement saying "We can make the Netherlands a beautiful country again with fewer asylum seekers and crime, more money and houses for our own people, decent care, plenty of room for our farmers and fishermen."

Dutch king makes historic apology for slavery

Significantly, on July 1st, the King offered a rare royal apology for the Netherlands' participation in slavery, saying he was "personally and intensely" impacted.  

Thousands of descendants of slaves from Suriname and the Caribbean islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao gathered in Amsterdam for the "Keti Koti" ("breaking the chains" in Surinamese) ceremonies to mark 150 years since slavery was abolished.

Willem-Alexander addressed the crowd saying, "Today I'm standing here in front of you as your king and as part of the government. Today I am apologizing personally...I am intensely experiencing this with my heart and soul."
 
The King said that "slave trading and slavery is recognized as a crime against humanity," and that "The monarchs and rulers of the House of Orange took no steps against it." 
 
During his speech on live television, the monarch asked for "forgiveness for the crystal-clear lack of action, on this day when we are commemorating slavery in the Netherlands."
 
Slave descendants have asked the king to utilize the occasion to apologize ahead of the ceremony. "That is important, especially because the Afro-Dutch community considers it important," Linda Nooitmeer, chairman of the National Institute of Dutch Slavery History and Legacy, told public broadcaster NOS.
