Susanne wrote that parties that had promised stricter asylum measures, including the distribution law contingent on a lower influx, should be punished if they continued to frustrate those measures. According to her, undermining asylum policy should not pay off. She therefore advised voters not to vote for the VVD, D66, or the CDA any longer. She also stated that asylum policy required a credible cabinet and called the cabinet ineffective, despite the strong rhetoric about punishments for frustrating return. #KabinetJetten #Asielbeleid #Asielbeleid #Politiek #Kiesrecht (translated)

At the end of June, Dutch officials sat at the table in Brussels with a diplomatic delegation from the regime to, in the words of Minister Bart van den Brink of Asylum and Migration, "better arrange the return of Afghans who are not allowed to stay in the EU to Afghanistan." (translated)
Afghans in the Netherlands, including former chief prosecutor Arif Mobashir, live in fear due to new asylum regulations that threaten to shorten their temporary residence permits and may possibly send them back to Taliban rule. (translated)
Mona Keijzer wondered whether a municipal council that voted against an asylum seekers' center also had a say when the outcome was not to the liking of The Hague. She called on municipalities to no longer be forced through the distribution law and to focus efforts on reducing the influx of asylum seekers. https://t.co/QyLyLngTdu #democratie #asielbeleid #gemeenteraad (translated)
Maarten van den Berg wrote that asylum minister Van den Brink had placed another 21 municipalities under supervision since Monday, bringing the total to 63 according to him. He mentioned, among others, Heerenveen, Weert, Enkhuizen, and Sluis, and stated that now one in five Dutch municipalities was under supervision.

Dr. Jan van de Beek wrote that people, according to him, were not seeking a right-wing dictatorship, as left-wing politicians and media claimed.

They would also want social services for hard workers, rather than for illegal immigrants. https://t.co/NwB8l4z5it #AfD #Duitsland #Immigratie #Asielbeleid #Immigratie #Criminaliteit (translated)
"I doubt that is correct. The status holders in question applied for family reunification as early as the beginning of 2025, long before these new rules came into effect. My assessment is that you cannot revoke a right retroactively that existed in the Netherlands under the application of EU law." Mark Klaassen, a university lecturer in migration law at Leiden University, finds it "astonishing" that the court in The Hague now rules that the new rules do not conflict with higher rules or general legal principles. #gezinshereniging #migratierecht #asielbeleid (translated)
The court in The Hague has ruled that the stricter requirements for family reunification, which were introduced on June 12, may also be applied to applications submitted before that date, which migration law expert Mark Klaassen finds surprising. #gezinshereniging #migratierecht #asielbeleid (translated)
