The Netherlands plans to declare an "asylum crisis" and implement its strictest migration rules to curb the influx of asylum seekers. This includes a moratorium on new applications, limiting family reunification, and bypassing parliamentary consent for certain measures.

Critics warn of potential legal challenges and negative societal impacts.
