It cannot be ruled out that Secretary of State for Asylum Eric van der Burg (VVD) is now considering expelling the Council of State. The High Council of State ruled today that a Gambian who first applied for asylum in Italy and then in the Netherlands may not be sent back to Meloni’s boot. According to the Dublin regulation, that should be the intention, but because the man has reported human trafficking, the repatriation plane will not go up. The Gambian was allowed to await the handling of that declaration in the Netherlands, but that means that the period to send him back to Italy has expired. Van der Burg will now have to process the asylum application himself. A solid example of successful time wasting of the asylum lawyer on duty. And yet another setback for Van der Burg, who is at odds with the Council of State time and time again; from the following family debacle to sending asylum seekers back to Italy in general.
Friday cabinet crisis?
In the meantime, the cabinet is still working on its own asylum deal/master plan. Tonight and tomorrow evening, under the leadership of Mark Rutte, consultations will be held with the Deputy Prime Ministers and ministers from asylum to housing in the hope that something will be on the table at the Council of Ministers on Friday. Because otherwise the bag carrier will be angry. Although, as usual, there are still some goat paths for the prime minister to walk. The Cabinet is going on recess later than the House, so there can still be talk next week, pressing a pause button rammed or closed a deal. Unless someone in the coalition chooses the nuclear option and blows up the cabinet, a scenario that De T. don’t want to exclude. Although NOS is laughing about it again. Two more nights of sleep, Friday D-day.
