Dutch municipalities ignore asylum minister's accountability requests; VVD faces internal division over migration policy

Summary

Dutch municipalities are largely ignoring the asylum minister's requests for accountability regarding insufficient refugee shelter. Minister Bart van den Brink (CDA) expresses astonishment at this behavior and warns that non-compliant municipalities will be first in line for enforcement once the cabinet implements the distribution law (spreidingswet). Separately, the VVD party is experiencing internal strife over its direction, leadership, and migration policy surrounding a new liberal manifesto.
