You’ll be shocked to hear that this is just more theatrics from the populist right. The EU immediately confirmed what everyone, including the PVV itself, already knew: this is not possible under EU law. Of course our big friend Orban immediately jumped on the opportunity to add his own theatrics and also requested the same.
Exactly. I was disappointed to see that the article did not include the surprisingly quick rebuttal reply from the EU which I believe arrived withing a few hours. By leaving that part out The Guardian is just amplifying the silly but damaging symbolic theater of the Wilders PVV party.

Don’t dismiss it as “just retoric”, they will hammer this issue until they succeed.
They would need to break treaty and domestic law to do it lol
If they can do that, they can do anything and we got bigger problems than “asylum seekers”
