Niederlande wollen aus EU-Migration aussteigen

Submission Statement:

The Netherlands is seeking an opt-out from the European Union’s common migration and asylum policy, according to Dutch Migration Minister Marjolein Faber. The request comes after the formation of a right-wing coalition government, led by Geert Wilders’ Party for Freedom (PVV), which has announced plans for the strictest asylum regime in the country’s history. If approved, this would allow the Netherlands to regain control over its asylum policies, similar to Denmark’s position outside the EU’s common framework. The proposal is expected to face significant legal and political challenges, as it requires the unanimous agreement of all 27 EU member states.
