VVD now supports fair distribution of asylum seekers across the Netherlands; Senate majority reached

The VVD in the Eerste Kamer supports the controversial law about the distribution of asylum seekers in the Netherlands. Senator Marian Kaljouw signalled her party's support during the second term of debate in the upper house of Parliament on Tuesday evening. With the support of the right wing party, a majority of the Senate is now in favor of the law. The proposal aims to ensure a fair distribution of asylum seekers among municipalities. A majority means the law can take effect on February 1. The vote is expected to take place next Tuesday.
