A fire broke out bij the emergency shelter voor asylum seekers in Loosdrecht during an anti-asylum seekers center demonstration.

de regering willen de burgemeester te kunnen act meer quickly during demonstrations dat get out of hand.

This zijn what de minister Heerma of Interior Affairs en Van Weel of Justice en Security state in a letter te the House of Representatives.

The de minister advocate voor a special emergency power dat would give local de regering meer options dan currently provided onder the current Public Manifestations Act en the Municipalities Act.

They ook willen de burgemeester te have het recht te relocate demonstrators onder certain circumstances, voor instance, using buses.

er have ook zijn "completely derailed" de situatie bij protests om asylum seekers centers, according te the de minister.

"wanneer violence zijn used tegen people, local officials, aid workers, or property, it zijn geen longer a demonstration dat kunnen zijn legally protected.

Firm en decisive action moeten dan zijn taken."

het idee has zijn on the table voor meer dan two years.

Predecessors of the current de minister had the Scientific Research en Documentation Center (WODC) conduct research, completed in December.

The conclusion zijn dat het recht te demonstrate itself does niet need te change, maar some issues kunnen zijn improved.

Coalition de partij D66, VVD en CDA had already included this in their coalition agreement en have nu presented their plans te the House of Representatives.

A previous plan te ban face-covering clothing during demonstrations will niet zijn implemented.

Instead, het kabinet willen te discuss alternatives met the House.

The proposal received much criticism, according te de brief from de minister Heerma en Van Weel.
