Out and about in Kampenhout, where a container village for 400 asylum seekers would be built in a protected nature reserve: “Did De Moor really not think for five minutes?”

A container village for 400 asylum seekers in Kampenhout: the decision of State Secretary Nicole de Moor (CD&V) has not yet been taken properly in the morning, or there are already protests. But has she done her homework? The domain of the federal police is located in a nature reserve and must make way for nature restoration, Flemish environment minister Zuhal Demir (N-VA) decided. And now, in the same ‘special protection zone’, asylum seekers would come to live? Or how in the Hellebos two serious political issues – asylum and nitrogen – suddenly become intertwined.
