Consisting of 545 police officers, were responsible for supporting their Afghan colleagues in the maintenance of law and order. The Dutch group this year and will remain between Kabul, Kunduz province, and the military base in Mazar-e-Sharif until 2014.In Kunduz, north of Afghanistan, German troops are stationed. Of them depend on the protection of Dutch envoys. The current Dutch Executive also wants to keep dream Afghan four F-16. The Dutch decision to return to Afghanistan is risky. In March 2010, the then center-left Cabinet, led by Jan Peter Balkenende's Christian Democrat, collapsed due to differences in the extension of the previous mission.
NATO asked for more time, and Dutch opposition toppled the government. This time, Mark Rutte, the new liberal prime minister, will need broad political support to act. His greatest support is the Freedom Party, led the right-wing populist and anti-Muslim leader, Geert Wilders. At the moment, has said he supports him because "The Netherlands has already done enough in Afghanistan." The opposition Social Democratic coalition that toppled the former (although part of it) is against returning to Afghanistan.
Do not want the Dutch troops there. The other groups have called for a public debate before deciding
