39% : He stressed that parties should cooperate and slammed Wilders for negativity and scaremongering.To combat illegal immigration and discourage dangerous migrant journeys, Jetten has proposed asylum applications to the Netherlands be submitted from outside the EU, alongside increased spending on integration programs.Government policy would be aimed at ensuring "people that really are fleeing from war and violence are received in a decent way, learn the language and can participate (in society) and that the rotten apples are pulled out of the system and are deported," he said.A backer of European integration and climate policies, D66 is hated by many on the far right, who see it as a party serving a progressive elite.
