The tenuous ruling coalition could not agree on how to handle asylum seekers and refugees
Prime Minister Mark Rutte of the Netherlands submitted his resignation to the king on Friday, after the four-party ruling coalition could not reach common ground on migrant policy. A caretaker cabinet will hold office until a new general election.

荷兰脆弱的执政联盟对于如何处理寻求庇护者和难民问题达不成共识。荷兰总理马克·吕特于周五向国王提交了辞呈,因为这个由四个政党组成的执政联盟在移民政策上无法达成共识。一个看管内阁将会履行职责直到新的大选举行。

“Migration is a major political and social issue,” Rutte told reporters in The Hague on Friday evening. “Now that we have been unable to find agreement on this, we have collectively assessed that the political support under the coalition has disappeared.”
The four coalition members have “very different views on migration policy,” he added. “And today, unfortunately, we have to draw the conclusion that those differences are irreconcilable.”
King Willem-Alexander has been notified of the government's resignation. Rutte will stay on as the caretaker PM until a new general election, which will probably take place in November.

“移民是一个重大的政治和社会问题,”吕特周五晚上在海牙对记者说。 “既然我们无法就此达成一致,我们集体评估联盟的政治支持已经消失。”
他补充说,四个联盟成员“对移民政策有着截然不同的看法”。 “不幸的是,今天我们不得不得出这样的结论:这些分歧是不可调和的。”
威廉-亚历山大国王已收到政府辞职的通知。 吕特将继续担任看管内阁的总理,直至可能于 11 月举行的新大选。

The main bone of contention at Friday’s coalition meeting was the proposal to limit the number of refugees and asylum seekers in the country of 18 million, which is already facing a housing shortage. Rutte’s People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) and the Christian Democrats wanted to limit the number of relatives who could follow asylum seekers already in the country at 200 per year, and create a separate category for war refugees and those fleeing political persecution. The other two partners, D66 and the Christian unx, opposed “breaking up families.”

在周五的联合会议上,争议最大的问题是关于限制这个已经面临住房短缺问题的1800万人口国家内的难民和寻求庇护者数量的提议。吕特所领导的人民自由党和基督教民主党希望将每年能够跟随已经在该国的寻求庇护者的亲属人数限制在200人,并为战争难民和逃离政治迫害的人创建一个单独的类别。而另外两个合作伙伴,D66党和基督教联盟,则反对“拆散家庭”。

The Netherlands received 46,000 asylum applications in 2022, with the government projecting it might see as many as 70,000 this year, more than the previous high recorded in 2015. The country has also taken in around 95,000 Ukrainians under “temporary protection” until March 2025.
Rutte has been prime minister since October 2010, as part of four different ruling coalitions. The most recent was put together in January 2022, after the longest negotiations in Dutch political history. The four-party bloc ended up with just 77 seats in the 150-member parliament.
“Quick elections now,” Geert Wilders, leader of the Freedom Party, tweeted after Rutte’s announcement. The Green Left leader, Jesse Klaver, also called for a new parliament, telling the public broadcaster NOS that the country “needs a change of direction.”

荷兰在2022年收到了4.6万份庇护申请,政府预计今年可能会收到多达7万份,比2015年创下的历史新高还要多。在2025年3月之前,该国还接收了约9.5万名受到“临时保护”的乌克兰人。
吕特自2010年10月以来一直担任总理,是四个不同执政联盟的一部分。最近一次是在荷兰政治史上最长的谈判之后于2022年1月举行的。在由150名成员组成的议会中,四党集团最终只获得77个席位。
吕特宣布后,自由党领袖吉尔特·维尔德斯在推特上写道:“现在快选举了。”。绿色左翼领导人杰西·克拉弗也呼吁成立新的议会,他告诉公共广播公司NOS,国家“需要改变方向”
