Ruben Brekelmans wrote that the Senate had agreed to abolish penalty payments for asylum seekers, after years of political and legal resistance. According to him, this would save millions of euros annually. He added that more asylum seekers who cause nuisance could be declared undesirable, and that more rejected asylum seekers who had to leave the Netherlands could be detained as a result. Brekelmans called this important steps towards a stricter asylum policy. #Asielbeleid #Asielzoekers #Nederland (translated)
