In the bed, bath and bread agreement are the major cities of Amsterdam, The Hague, Eindhoven, Rotterdam and Utrecht designated municipalities where illegal immigrants and failed asylum seekers who cooperate in their departure soon can be absorbed to a limited extent. The so-called ‘vestibules’ of strict broadcasting center Ter Apel. Other municipalities that offer illegal shelter should stop that says VVD and PvdA.

The agreement reached has been widely criticized. It is a wonderful compromise between two parties, which hardly dissolves in practice, experts say. Illegal immigrants who do not cooperate in their departure end up back on the street. Municipalities see then asked for the choices we must help these people or let them choke

Utrecht puts people off street
Also Utrecht spoke clearly. A large majority of the city council is not happy with the new regime. College parties GroenLinks and D66 say Utrecht firm will continue to adhere to its own arrangements for homeless asylum seekers, who are much more generous than the city now may offer the government. ,, Utrecht puts people off street. Point. ” Said Green Left, which has also requested an additional council debate on the issue.

According to D66, the largest Raadsfractie, the municipality has a duty of care. ,, We offer long been bed-bath bread and emergency and we continue to do what the government says, ” says chairman Klaas Sims.

Other municipalities
Also other municipalities that have to do with illegal immigrants who arrive in the homeless shelter, have since yesterday increasingly apply. The city council in Arnhem has announced the find unimaginable ,, that within four months of the decentralization of care, the government will determine how the city of Arnhem its duty of care must fill in. “In Arnhem remains a bed bath and bread arrangement, reports the Arnhem College of Mayor and Aldermen.

The city council of Groningen expresses a harsh judgment. Responsible alderman Ton Schroor speaks at RTV Noord ,, a weird deal. Do we have seventy people away with a one-way ticket The Hague. And what if people do not want to leave. We should arrange a proper reception. That is human. We do not let people wander the streets. This is unworkable. ”

Deventer and Leiden also hold on the reception of illegal immigrants. ,, It is about ten people. Who have we really do not sleep under the bridge, “said Councillor Jan Jaap Kolkman Deventer in the Stentor. The same applies to Haarlem. The church now offers support to 3 or 4 women with children, and there are five men in private care. That will remain so. Haarlem is going to have discussed the implications of the agreement.

Doubt
Almere and Nijmegen is still doubt about the position to be taken.

Mariët Mensink, director of the private foundation Emergency shelter Refugees Nijmegen, told De Gelderlander that the bed-bath bread facility started in January in a former shop in Nijmegen East ‘will just continue. ” According to the same newspaper could councilor Bert Frings last night not respond.
