The Netherlands has decided to send a police mission in Kunduz, northern Afghanistan, in order to train local forces of order. To gain the support of Parliament in this plan, the center-right coalition in power has been forced to require guarantees Kabul over the "civil" the work of Dutch troops. Specifically, liberals, Christians, Calvinists and "green" have asked the Prime Minister Mark Rutte, to ensure that the future police will fight no Afghan Taliban fighters.
In other words, they will not be used by the government of President Hamid Karzai, as a paramilitary force against the insurgency. According to polls, two thirds of the Dutch are against the mission. The parliamentary majority has been reached after a tense debate. Ended at dawn, the whole tone evoked a year dedicated to the same problem.
In 2010, however, the lack of consensus on extending the Dutch military presence in the Afghan province of Uruzgan, overthrew the center-left Cabinet. Jan Peter Balkenende, Christian Democrat prime minister then, after he left politics. The current deal remains committed to NATO Dutch, who had asked him not to abandon Afghanistan.
It also helped make the government and the opposition began to measure their strength. On the one hand, Mark Rutte, brand new liberal prime minister, has asserted its authority. Although a minority govern with the Christian Democrats, has not needed the support of extra-parliamentary ally, the anti-Islam party right-wing populist leader Geert Wilders.
Contrary to the Afghan mission, "because it compromises the security of the Netherlands, Wilders has voted against the sending of policemen. The Social Democrats also refused to support Rutte. The other victory was so small parties have scored the opposition camp. In a show of moderation, have achieved "a bilateral agreement with Kabul to ensure that Afghan police and soldiers do not end up" in the words of Groen Links (green).
It is expected that Dutch agents remain at least 18 weeks in Afghanistan.
