The Dutch government fell on Friday over disagreements over the asylum system, after Prime Minister Mark Rute demanded restrictions on his coalition partners in reuniting immediate family members of war refugees.
The four parties that make up the center-right government have been at odds for months over how to deal with the influx of refugees, but the situation became tense on Wednesday when Rutte put on the table a limit of 200 reunited family members. month and a two-year waiting period before you can travel to the Netherlands.
This proposal has been considered unfeasible by the progressive D66, but above all by the Christian Union (CU), a partner for whom respect for the family is a “red line”.
