Overview
- A large majority in the Dutch House backed a VVD–ChristenUnie motion asking the cabinet to stop Ye from entering the country for two early-June concerts at Arnhem’s GelreDome.
- Justice Minister Van Weel said officials are studying options but can refuse entry only if there is a concrete threat to public order or safety.
- Arnhem mayor Ahmed Marcouch said he lacks legal grounds to ban the shows because authorities have not seen signals of a risk to order or safety.
- Lawmakers said that if an entry refusal is not lawful, the government should press the promoter to call off the events.
- Ye has faced tour setbacks in Europe after a UK visa refusal, stadium cancellations in Switzerland and Poland, and a France date he postponed following reports of a planned ban.
