In the Netherlands, there’s a significant political controversy involving the Dutch government’s spending on asylum seekers while many citizens live in poverty. The government has allocated 24 billion euros for asylum support, highlighting a stark contrast to the one million Dutch citizens living below the poverty line. Central to this debate is Eric van der Burg, the acting State Secretary, who is relieved that a new law about distributing asylum seekers among municipalities has gained support in the Senate.
However, this law has caused political inconsistency within the People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy party (VVD), a major political party in the Netherlands. The VVD members in the lower house of Parliament opposed the law, while their counterparts in the Senate supported it. This difference in stance within the same party has raised questions about their political coherence and strategy.
Erik de Vlieger, a prominent real estate entrepreneur, criticized the government and suggested that those who voted for left-wing Prime Minister Mark Rutte or the VVD party were misled. During the debate, Van der Burg revealed the substantial costs associated with housing asylum seekers, with figures reaching 31,000 euros per year for regular asylum accommodations and 65,000 euros per year for emergency shelters.
Former MP Wybren van Haga highlighted the disparity between the government’s extensive spending on asylum seekers and the apparent neglect of Dutch citizens living in poverty. He accused van der Burg, whom he labeled the “asylum king” of the VVD, of indifference to the plight of impoverished Dutch citizens.
Een asielzoeker kost ons €31.000 per jaar, een crisisnoodopvang zelfs €65.000. We geven 24 miljard per jaar uit aan asielzoekers terwijl 1 miljoen Nederlanders onder de armoedegrens leven.

The Forum for Democracy party, a conservative-leaning political group in the Netherlands, has been critical of the government’s policy. They argue that it’s overly generous to asylum seekers from Africa and the Middle East and threatens national identity and financial stability. They propose keeping “hopeless immigrants” out of Dutch cities and villages and supporting asylum seekers in their regions of origin instead as a more cost-effective solution.
This situation reflects a larger debate in the Netherlands about national identity, economic priorities, and the government’s handling of asylum and immigration issues in the face of domestic economic challenges.
HANG ALL THESE CRIMINAL EU LEADERS (except Orban)!
These rapefugees have not paid into the system via taxes. The people suffereing have paid into the system. It is much less costly to simply return these barbarians, and spend the money on people that deserve it!
It is the same in every Western civilized country. Force the NGO’s to return the idiots back to their country, and stop importing your replacement population.

Cloward-Piven strategy deployed by globalist-marxists-satanists. Reject this invasion and asinine national suicide at all costs. The political satanists have sold out the people they serve. They serve and do not rule. They are the ones that need replacement!
Public Servants! They serve badly!
Orbán wrote on his X social media account: #Hungary cannot be blackmailed! There is not enough money in the world to force us to accept mass #migration and to put our children in the hands of LGBTQ activists. This is impossible!
Here it is people. This is the correct stance against political satanism and EU tyranny. I wish I were Hungairan, so I could move to Hungary. This is my favorite European of all times. Imagine if other leaders were to follow his example? We could stomp out marxist-satanist perverts forever.
God Bless Orbań. He does not bend a knee to the devil.
asylum seekers
Wrong terminology. These are rapefugees, economic parasites, and pedosatanist miscreants. If you brought a dog into your house and it crapped on the floor, bit you or your children, and chewed your shoes would you encourage more of these dogs, and welcome them into your home?
No!
The Dutch people vote for these tyrranical wef clown politicians as their “leaders” even though they know they will be depopulated. This syndrome is a result of the anti-Christ warped citizenry and unless they turn from their wicked ways and repent, they will reap eternity in this kind of hell.
I think our corrupt government spends almost a quarter trillion dollars per year to coddle illegal aliens so they can vote left, sell dope, rape kids, and dilute citizenship. It used to be a 100 billion a year, but with feckless money printing, inflation, and millions more(under bozobiden) economic parasites—the taxpayer cost has increased.
