Setting up a register of Antillean youngsters who have criminal convictions is discriminatory, says the orthodox Christian party ChristianUnie which refuses to back the move, reports Wednesday’s Trouw.

The Antillean islands are in the Caribbean but are an autonomous part of the Dutch kingdom.
The ChristenUnie’s refusal ‘to back the register has set it on a collision course with its Labour and Christian Democrat partners in government, says rouw.
Labour and a number of local councils with a high proportion of Antillean immigrants support the register, arguing that it will make it easier to help young criminals.
Ethnic origins
Last week integration minister Ella Vogelaar (Labour) was sacked partly because she announced that the scheme would be scrapped while on a trip to the Antilles.
Instead, she said, the ethnic orgin of offenders would be incorporated into a new register of young people who are at risk of getting into trouble. This list is being set up by family minister André Rouvoet (ChristenUnie).
But the ChristenUnie opposes this too, the Volkskrant says. Rouvoet does not want ethnic origins to be included in his register.
The Antillean government also fiercely object to the register, known as the VIA or Verwijsindex Antillianen.
Earlier this year, the Council of State ruled that parliament could set up the index because it was in the public interest.
