The fall of Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s fourth Cabinet should not be a reason to ignore the immense student housing shortage, said coalition party D66 in a joint appeal with nine different interest groups. They have published a manifesto in which they called upon members of parliament to allow the current caretaker Cabinet to deal with the matter, and not declare it to be a controversial issue. I’m doing so, they would make it a policy matter for the next Cabinet, which will not be installed until we’ll after the November election.
The Association of Dutch Municipalities (VNG) is appealing to the Tweede Kamer and the Senate to let the Netherlands "come to a standstill" now that the Cabinet is outgoing. In a petition, the association asks MPs on behalf of all 342 municipalities "not to wait for a new government in crucial areas, but to deal with the necessary laws and regulations."
"Municipalities, do not make irreversible decisions on third-country nationals", the Association of Dutch Municipalities (VNG) advices after the emergency ruling of the Council of State (RvS). The latter had decided on Friday evening that a so-called third-country national from Ukraine, who was in danger of losing his right to protection on Monday, may remain in the refugee shelter for the time being.
A so-called third-country national from Ukraine who was in danger of losing his right to protection on Monday has been allowed to stay in the shelter for now. He had lost a case in the Rotterdam court and appealed to the Council of State. He must continue to receive protection until a decision is made by the Supreme Court, the Council of State decided late Friday night in an emergency ruling. In principle, the verdict only applies to this man, "but it is indicative. Anyone else who turns to us now would receive the same verdict," a spokesperson for the Council of State said.
Third-country nationals from Ukraine will not have to leave shelters in several Dutch municipalities for the time being. According to a survey by ANP that included around 300 municipalities, cities like Eindhoven, Groningen, Arnhem, Ede, Deventer, and Roermond have announced that they will not turn these refugees out onto the streets as of Monday.
