Earlier, the Christian Democrats opposed the bill proposed by D66 to legalize cannabis cultivation. That proposal could count on the support of ruling party PvdA and fell at the last VVD congress at the grassroots in good soil. A majority is in sight.
Fight against drug crime in South Netherlands 'logistical nightmare'
Criminal proceedings against drug criminals are "a logistical nightmare" has become, says prosecutor Gretchen Forest . In 2015 resulted 400 arrests in the southern Netherlands in only six convictions.
"I'm afraid that we in the coming months to pursue a great academic debate in the liberal Netherlands on legalizing drugs supply at the back of the coffee shop," said Buma. "But that totally solves nothing. The criminals go merrily with the large-scale manufacture of weed and pills. The VVD wants 'smart regulation', but I have not heard of Mark Rutte what that is yet. A backdoor can go two ways: open or closed. I choose to close. "
Buma wants the debate is about the question of who in the Netherlands is the boss: the resident normally and safely wants to live in his neighborhood, or the criminal who provocative driving around in his car acquired with dirty money. "So far and no further, because it is running out of control," said Buma. "Criminal gangs have their tentacles everywhere. Do not they have to win, but the rule of law. That's the coming months commitment. "
Drugs are junk
Sybrand Buma
Buma said Tuesday Brabant campaign in a number of concrete measures. Coffee shops should be reduced and eventually all closed. Assets acquired should be taken away from drug profits and returned to the region. Region Mayors must therefore invest in a long-term approach to crime.
The CDA wants to expand the Opium Act, so that the large-scale purchasing is itself lawful preparing a criminal offense if there are indications that drug manufacture is the intent. Suspected of drug offenses should be standard remanded in custody.
"Drugs are junk and often affect the most vulnerable in society," says the CDA leader. "We do not give in to the cynicism that has already lost the battle. We do not reward criminals but punish. "
We should not be naive in dealing with these guys
Sybrand Buma
Buma is keenly aware that he is against the social movement for legalization, a movement that supports a growing number of mayors.
Buma thinks nothing. "We should not be naive in dealing with these guys," he says. "Justice must be given more resources at its disposal rather than less. More officers, more manpower to the investigation and more scope for the prosecution. The urgency in Brabant is palpable and it also plays in Gelderland, Limburg and Zeeland. '
Thus, the plan is also an attack on the electoral competitor VVD. Parties according to Buma has especially excelled in recent years, "catchy slogans," while "expert ministers" are urgently needed. Buma, "The security failure of the VVD and the provinces pay for this bill."
The Labour Inspectorate has imposed on him a fine of 8,000 euros, because, according to the inspectors 'knowingly' illegal would have employed.
Nandlal does not think he is guilty of fraud. "I have taken with a temporary residence permit permanently employed a refugee lawfully resident in the Netherlands in 2010 because he was working so well. I paid him just white. How could I know that I was in violation since February 2015, when the government has taken away his status? "

Entrepreneur Edu Nandlal
In October 2015 two inspectors came along at Nandlals office in Leidsche Rijn. It happened just that afternoon the 28-year-old Issouf Coulibaly windows of the office park on the chamois. The Ivorian had earlier that year lost his status; Netherlands Ivory Coast now consider safe enough to return to. Because Coulibaly Nandlal continued to work for the employer violated the Aliens Employment Act. And therefore Nandlal fined.
According to the Aliens Employment Act, the employer must 'constantly active view to monitor the residency status of its employees, "said the spokeswoman of the inspection Social Affairs and Employment, as the Labour now called. In this specific case, they will not go. She explains that if an employer is not informed by his employee about getting non-renewal of his temporary residence permit, the employer is punishable.
Nandlal says he is not known in detail this law. He has appealed. If he has to pay a fine for, according to him unconsciously offense, let them be lower and be spread over a long time, he suggests. Because now he threatens to lay off people. He then has no money to offer its employees training - Dutch, facade cleaning, window cleaning. "And precisely those courses I want my employees, who are at the bottom of the labor market, provide more opportunities for the future."
SLM plane crash
I have chosen as many vulnerable people to train on the job market to get them permanently at work

Edu Nandlal (53) is not just a cleaning business owner, also because of its special history. In June 1989, when he was 25 years old, he sat with the colorful national team of Surinamese-Dutch footballers in the SLM plane that crashed at the airport Zanderij Suriname. Nandlal was one of the few survivors. Until that day he had been a promising footballer, then he had to recover from a partial spinal cord injury.
Nandlal since receiving a disability benefit. His cleaning company that he started in 2002, he deserves not, he stresses. "After I survived the plane crash, I said to myself: I want to do something good. I have chosen as many vulnerable people to train on the job market to get them into sustainable work. "
Netherlands late but refugees and allow them then to their fate

Are about twenty employees of various origins. Among them are more refugees, including those from Somalia and Nigeria. Nandlal says he sees it as his task to help them to work. 'Netherlands late but refugees and allow them then to their fate. How many refugees are there in the government service, I ask myself sometimes wonder. "
In 2010, the then 22-year-old Issouf Coulibaly of Ivory Coast came to his door. Coulibaly, a temporary residence permit, had been assigned an apartment in Kanaleneiland and was looking for work.
"He proved to be the best employee I've had so far," says Nandlal. "He's tireless. In the morning he asked worried newspapers, then he went for me to work, through wind and rain, sometimes 25 meters height as a window cleaner. He has all the qualifications achieved rapidly. And he is also a good player. "
Coulibaly hangs his head when he hears the words of praise of his employer. "I liked very much the work. I've never had a benefit. "
I found the work very much. I've never had a benefit
Issouf Coulibaly
Had he can not tell his boss that he could not work for him? Coulibaly said he initially had not fully understood the seriousness of the situation. He had heard that his residence permit had expired. But he thought he could still win the case with his lawyer's help, he says.
"I wanted to show that it is not safe for me because my father is accused of rebellion. I thought, when they see how well I work and how good I am integrated, I can stay fixed.
But his initial lawyer was ill. And his next lawyer, who took his file, had not done much.

half 'risk businesses' in error
More than half of the 156 cleaning companies that the inspection Social Affairs and Employment (formerly Labour) visited last year, has violated any law ; including in the field of working hours, minimum wages and employment of illegal workers. One third of the audited companies must pay a fine.
This is evidenced by the initial results of the new method of inspection SWZ which she abuses by companies want to locate more effectively. This does not mean that half of all cleaning companies in error. The inspection is mainly visited 'risk companies "who have broken earlier rules, which symptoms or signs that there might be something wrong. Deschoonmaakondernemersorganisatie OSB welcomes the stricter approach.
Coulibaly had discussed with his employer that he was to sue for his residence permit. Nandlal: "I knew there were problems, but I did not know he was already illegal. That had the government can do let me know, because I do everything completely open and white? That same government has just tax due on its work during that period, no problems. "
Moreover Nandlal found it difficult to dismiss him, he admits honestly. "He must live on something during the procedure, I thought, or he slides into the crime. We also have a band built up in recent years. "
Coulibaly viewing during the call in a book about FC Utrecht. He looks despondent. His family house he also had in January 2016. Since then he stays with friends. "I've lost everything I've worked hard," he says. "My life is hard, without home, work and income."
I help to integrate refugees and I get the stocking on my head
edu Nandlal
Can not he better go back to Ivory Coast and there build a life here stay in the Netherlands in the hopeless illegal?
"I have long lived in the Netherlands, I have hardly contacts there," says Coulibaly. 'I dare not return. I'll stay here. "
"I do not blame Issouf. I now have a penalty on my roof, that's my fault, that I feel involved with my people, "says Nandlal. "The system is wrong. The law is there to protect illegal immigrants from exploitation. I just paid him neat, all white. I help to integrate refugees and I get the stocking on my head. "
