At the hotel in Albergen in the municipality of Tubbergen, where asylum seekers may be housed, many people gathered again on Tuesday who held a spontaneous counteraction. It is quiet, people held up signs saying: AZC No. There was also an inverted Dutch flag, a commonly used symbol at farmers’ protests against nitrogen measures.
On Tuesday it was announced that the cabinet wants to force the municipality to receive asylum seekers in the hotel, but there is a lot of opposition to this. For example, a spontaneous overflow of people arose at the building on Tuesday evening. “That’s not how you treat people”, Mayor Wilmien Haverkamp said on Wednesday about the intention to impose the reception “from above”.
The police assume that the new demonstration at the hotel will be peaceful. “If things turn out differently, we will take measures if necessary,” said a spokesperson.
