The Dutch government has collapsed after failing to reach a deal on restricting immigration, triggering new elections in the fall.
AMSTERDAM — The Dutch government collapsed on Friday after failing to reach a deal on restricting immigration, which will trigger new elections in the fall.
Tensions came to a head this week, when Rutte demanded support for a proposal to limit entrance of children of war refugees who are already in the Netherlands and to make families wait at least two years before they can be united. News agency ANP, citing the national elections committee, said elections would not be held before mid-November.
Asylum applications in the Netherlands jumped by a third last year to over 46,000, and the government has projected they could increase to more than 70,000 this year — topping the previous high of 2015.
