The right-wing government will present more details about its policies for the coming years later on Friday, four days ahead of the annual budget presentation.

Prime minister Dick Schoof will outline the main points at a news conference at 4 pm, which will be broadcast live on television.

In May, the coalition partners published a 26-page broad outline of their strategy, but left the details up to ministers to work out. None of the four party leaders are members of the cabinet, but have been active behind the scenes.

“Whether we are talking about feeling secure about the future, healthcare, money in your pocket or the availability of sufficient housing, we have big ambitions,” the four parties said in the introduction to their coalition agreement in May.

“We also want to reverse the much too high influx of refugees and immigrants. We want farmers, market gardeners and fishermen to have a future again.

Some details have already leaked out. Farm minister Femke Wiersma (BBB) has accepted that drastic cuts need to be made in the number of dairy cows, pigs and chickens kept on Dutch factory farms in order to meet manure regulations.

She will publish more details about how she plans to cut the manure mountain later today.

Migration minister Marjolein Faber is known to want to declare a refugee crisis, place major restrictions on family reunifications and introduce border controls, like Germany. Exactly what her strategy will be to introduce “the strictest asylum regime ever” will also be made clear this afternoon.

Dutch News will follow the press conference and bring you the latest developments as they happen.
