The Dutch Parliament has passed the strictest asylum laws in the country's history, following intense debate and initial hesitation from coalition parties NSC and SGP. These new laws, originally proposed by the far-right PVV party, include measures that make it significantly more difficult for asylum seekers to obtain permanent residency in the Netherlands. Additionally, the legislation criminalizes the activities of left-leaning NGOs that assist people in entering the country illegally, although the criminalization of helpers has been temporarily suspended. The passage of these laws occurred after a day marked by political chaos and demands for additional guarantees from the NSC and SGP. Despite concerns about potential legal issues and opposition from some groups, the bills received majority support in the Tweede Kamer (House of Representatives). The Senate's approval is still pending. The police have expressed opposition to the stricter asylum regulations. The new framework aims to tighten asylum procedures and limit family reunification for refugees, reflecting a significant shift in Dutch immigration policy.
