Soldiers would be fired because they have a foreign partner may remain at Defence. That says Minister Hennis. But they may no longer perform military tasks.
Dozens of soldiers came last year in trouble because their partner can not be screened. It involves partners from countries with which the Dutch security services do not work together. Hennis has now decided that the military will not be fired, but five years may perform a function for which no certificate of no objection is required. That means they can not perform any military function. Defence will also communicate better with the new rules. Hennis: ,, So I hope to meet compassionate and prevent new cases ”
The soldiers involved are only partially satisfied.. ,, It is good news that they are no more layoffs, ” said lawyer Michael Ruperti, assisting various stakeholders. ,, But the big question is which activities are offered to them. And what that means for their careers. “” Ruperti sets forth procedures on behalf of its clients.
,, Uncertainty remains, ” said Sebastien Diekstra lawyer who defends also several soldiers with foreign partners. ,, These people want to defend their country, not counting five years socks. Sometimes they only have a contract for several years. How is it then continue? This offers no security. ”
Labour MP Angelien Eijsink is pleased with the letter of Hennis. ,, This is an important step. But the concerns of the soldiers involved have not yet been resolved. I continue to follow closely. ”
