Support is now being sought for more forced reception, but also for ways to exclude migrants who have little chance of staying. Sources from The Hague report this to De Telegraaf.
The package is expected to hurt all coalition parties a little, although the question is whether the coalition will reach an agreement at all, because asylum has been a divisive issue for some time. MPs of the coalition parties are discussing feverishly now that hundreds of migrants are sleeping outside at the Ter Apel registration centre.
According to those involved, the VVD would argue for stricter measures to limit the number of family members and to get migrants from safe countries out of the country as quickly as possible. There are also reservations about the feasibility of these proposals that the liberals have been making unsuccessfully for years. D66, CDA and CU would like to persuade the largest party to support a bill for coercion.
