ROUNDUP: Dutch government collapses in dispute over migration policy

THE HAGUE (dpa-AFX) – The Dutch government of Prime Minister Mark Rutte has collapsed in the dispute over migration policy. The heads of the four governing parties could not agree on Friday evening on steps to limit the influx of refugees, the ANP news agency reported, citing government circles.

The sticking point at the crisis meeting was a restriction on the family reunification of refugees who are already in the Netherlands and which Rutte’s liberal party VVD had called for.

This is the fourth government led by Liberal Rutte./evs/DP/he
