Overview of the Regeerprogramma
The cabinet has formally sent the regeerprogramma to the Tweede Kamer, making the document public. Later today, Minister-President Schoof will detail the plan during a press conference at 16:00, which can be followed live on NOS.nl.
Key Elements of the Regeerakkoord
- The cabinet's governing plan is a novel approach in the formation process.
- Coalition partners PVV, VVD, NSC, and BBB reached a consensus to produce this document independently.
- This strategy aligns with the cabinet's extraparliamentary character, keeping ministers distanced from parliamentary debates.
Asylum Crisis Management
The cabinet aims to invoke emergency powers due to escalating asylum challenges. This includes the following:
- Immediate measures to manage asylum inflow.
- Stricter conditions for family reunifications.
- Rigorous assessments for repeat asylum applications.
- Rejection procedures for non-appearing asylum seekers.
The cabinet plans to repeal the Spreidingswet and implement a halt on asylum applications if necessary.
