The transfer of families from AZCs to the municipalities is not going well. Since last week, municipalities have been assigned to asylum seekers at a rapid pace and they cannot keep track of that. The result is that large families are housed in a much too small house.
In the NRC Is it about a fire letter from the municipality of Tilburg, which holds the newspaper. Because there is so abruptly appealing to the municipalities, they are in the hair with their hands. They have not been able to prepare well, do not have the capacity and cannot guarantee safety due to the situation.
In Tilburg, for example, a family of fifteen n00s had to be taken care of in a house with two bedrooms. That is over -occupancy and therefore fire hazard. “A devilish dilemma”, the municipal administration calls it. “We are responsible for the safety of our residents and have to prevent people from ending up on the street.”
But the municipalities cannot do anything else now. The operation is an emergency measure of outgoing minister Mona Keijzer, of asylum and migration, to make room for more care in the AZCs. It works like a knife on the throat for municipalities, which creates a lot of unrest locally.
