Council of State Slams Asylum Law Repeal | Amsterdam News

The Dutch Council of State has slammed a proposal to scrap the two-year-old asylum distribution law, calling it a bad idea and urging lawmakers to reject it outright. While five conservative-right parties argue the law distracts from stopping asylum seekers at the border, the Council insists how asylum seekers are housed has no bearing on how many arrive. They warn repealing the law would only worsen the system and insist it’s too early to judge — even advising against debating the repeal. Yet JA21, one of the pushing parties, is undeterred, claiming the Council’s opposition is political and that the law actually weakens government efforts to limit arrivals — and they’re determined to keep pushing through democratic debate.
