The Cabinet published a new bill that would allow political parties to be banned if they undermine the democratic rule of law, or if they propose abolishing the rule of law.
It is already possible to ban a political party, but on different grounds than what was written into the new bill. This is now only possible if a party poses a threat to public order - as is the case for other organizations, such as motorcycle gangs.
Ideally, the power to ban parties should rest with a constitutional court, but that does not yet exist in the Netherlands. In the current proposal, the Supreme Court addresses this.
