Tom Van Grieken.
Vlaams Belang chairman Tom Van Grieken presented his new book on Tuesday, Immigration Stop, in which he launches 116 proposals that, according to him, will enable a radical change in our country’s asylum and migration policy. Nine of the proposals must be implemented at European level and are therefore for the (medium) long term, the remaining 107 can be implemented immediately, according to Van Grieken.
“I would prefer to implement all of these proposals myself, but there is little chance that I would get the opportunity to do so (most proposals are at the federal level and the chance that Vlaams Belang will come to power at that level is almost non-existent, ed. ), but I challenge you to see what percentage of these measures have been achieved within ten years,” Tom Van Grieken himself implicitly referred to the infamous 70-point plan of the Vlaams Blok that was launched in 1992 by Filip Dewinter and has since become a reality. part was put into practice.
For the Vlaams Belang chairman, his book, which he wrote together with the party’s migration specialist, Francesca Van Belleghem, is a ‘handle’ to realize a radical change. He puts forward nine proposals that can be realized in the medium or long term because they are European powers.
Despite the ‘European straitjacket’, there are still many opportunities for Van Grieken to tighten the asylum, migration and integration policy. He has therefore listed 107 measures that can be implemented in the short term.
This concerns a series of measures to restrict family reunification (the largest form of immigration), reduce the influx of asylum seekers (reading mobile phones, abolishing pocket money), make labor migration more selective, tackle illegality, or prevent the return of increase those who have exhausted all legal remedies.
Tom Van Grieken called the mission of part of the federal government to Morocco that ends on Tuesday an “election stunt”.
