The Dutch Government could investigate the possibility of asylum seekers whose applications were rejected to Uganda, as the Minister of Foreign Trade, Reinette Klever, recognized this Wednesday when they visited African country.
The project, which is still under development, is presented as the Dutch alternative to the Italian migration plan, which has been agreed by Albania to send irregular migrants. If completed, Uganda would receive compensation in exchange for hosting asylum seekers.
In principle, the agreement between the two parties would consider that African asylum seekers who have exhausted all legal channels in the Netherlands would be deported and stay in Uganda, although the original countries that would be included in the agreement are yet to be confirmed.
“Ultimately, we want to reduce migration. For the Government it is important that those who have taken all legal remedies return to the country they came from. , NOS has good relations with Uganda to propose.
These statements have quickly received support from the leader of the Party for Freedom (PVV), Geert Wilders, the party with the largest representation both in the coalition Government and in Parliament. “Less asylum seekers, more in the Netherlands,” he noted on his social networks.
The opposition has been against this campaign, which they have classified as “cheap propaganda” and “symbolic politics”, and even the liberals of the Democrats 66 have remembered that other countries such as the Denmark or the United Kingdom have tried to promote this style and no one has gone to Africa in the end.
