PVV leader Geert Wilders has called on Dutch municipalities to take legal action against the asylum distribution law, known in the Netherlands as the Spreidingswet. He made the appeal during a parliamentary debate with Christian Democratic Asylum and Migration Minister Bart van den Brink, which arose after several protests against asylum centres across the country, including unrest in Loosdrecht, Aalsmeer, IJsselstein, Den Bosch, and Apeldoorn.
Wilders said he rejects violence at demonstrations. At the same time, he defended the broader resistance to the law. According to him, the Spreidingswet forces municipalities to provide asylum centres in places where people do not want them, and he called on the minister to withdraw the law.
Tweet translation – For all those who think people from Loosdrecht are right-wing extremist tokies. Without democratic input, these people are being told that 110 displaced men are coming. displaced men who now and then cause this kind of thing at the places where they stay. This is now and then reality!
voor allen die mensen uit Loosdrecht rechtsextremistische tokie’s vinden. Zonder democratische inspraak krijgen deze mensen te horen dat er 110 ontheemde mannen komen. ontheemde mannen die dit zo nu en dan aanrichten op de plek waar zij verblijven. Dit is zo nu en dan realiteit! pic.twitter.com/gnKHD4PK2E
