The coalition agreement drawn up by the three right-wing parties forming a new government includes a ban on the burqa and a commitment to major cuts in immigration, the Telegraaf reports. The new coalition is also planning a number of measures to reduce immigration 'very substantially', the paper says. There will be a general ban on burqas and clothing which covers the face, and police and justice department officials will not be allowed to wear headscarves. According to Trouw, the new coalition government will have the motto 'freedom and responsibility'. It says the government will appoint 2,500 extra police officers and 500 other officers to combat animal cruelty. Other measures which have already leaked out include an increase in the retirement age from 65 to 66. The smoking ban in small cafes and bars will also be lifted and the speed limit on motorways increased to 130 kph.
