“Deport people without a valid residence permit as much as possible, even forcibly,” the 26-page document says.
Wilders cried victory on what he called “a historic day,” claiming he had made sure the three other coalition parties, including the one of outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte, had accepted the core of his program.
“The strictest asylum policy ever,” Wilders exulted.
