Jimmy Dijk, the leader of the Socialist Party (SP) in the Netherlands, expressed regret over his party’s support for a motion calling for the government to track cultural and religious values of migrants. He acknowledged that the decision was a ‘wrong assessment’ and has since led to public outrage, with accusations of racism. A petition to reverse the motion has garnered over 33,000 signatures, highlighting widespread disapproval. Dijk emphasized the need for a factual debate and criticized the government’s treatment of migrants as scapegoats.
