Netherlands Enforces Border Controls Amid Migration Crackdown
The Netherlands plans to implement border controls on its land borders and specific Schengen flights starting December 9. The six-month measure, led by the PVV party, aims to address migration concerns, reflecting policies similar to those of neighboring Germany.
The Netherlands is set to enforce controls on its land borders with EU countries and selected flights from within the Schengen zone, the Migration Ministry announced on Monday. The restrictions will commence on December 9.
This six-month border control initiative is part of broader efforts by the right-wing coalition, led by Geert Wilders' PVV party, to address migration issues. The move mirrors recent actions taken by neighboring Germany.
The plan forms a central component of the PVV's strategy to curb migration, consistent with their nationalist agenda.
