"The government shares the social discontent that exists on the multicultural society," read the letter published Friday. "In the new integration, the values of the Dutch society play a central role. With this change, the government steps away from the model of a multicultural society."
The new government wants more demands on immigrants. They should be responsible themselves for ensuring that they learn the Dutch language.
"A more obligatory integration is justified because the government also demands that from its own citizens," the letter continued.
"It is necessary because otherwise the society gradually grows apart and eventually no one feels at home anymore in the Netherlands. The integration will not be tailored to different groups." [Xinhua News Agency] Read more [via Islam in Europe]
