Description

The new minister Nawijn proposes several policies to solve ‘problems’ with ethnic minorities in the country. People with a double nationality should choose for one nationality. In case they choose for a foreign nationality, they can be sent back in case of criminal offences. He also proposes to withdraw subsidies to organisations that do not actually contribute to social integration. Thereafter, he was severely criticized by high ranking members of the Christian democrats (CDA) and classic liberals (VVD).
