The “firm but humane” Asylum policy will continue, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said when appearing on TV program De Zevende Dag on Sunday.
“No-one in this government wants an open border policy”, he said. He didn’t like the “Marrakech coalition” term used by the N-VA.
“We will continue the Asylum and Immigration policy put in place by Maggie De Block (Open Vld) in the previous government”, said Mr De Croo.
Mr De Croo said the N-VA has “subtly” taken another direction regarding Belgium’s position in the world. “It’s a question of principles for me”, said the former Deputy Prime Minister.
HIS opinion is shared by Kris Peeters, the CD&V Deputy Prime Minister. “The term Marrakech coalition does not fit what we intend to do”, he said.
