In Vlijmen the municipality of Heusden is organizing a meeting about the housing of four Syrian boys. The neighbors of the house where the boys would live are against the arrival of their new Syrian neighbors. They experienced a traumatic event in Tunisia last year where ISIS fighters attacked a tourist resort. That's why they don't want Syrian neighbors, while they have also fled from violence. The Dutch man says: “So this is not going to happen Good or bad. And I have many friends“. In addition, a petition has been launched nearby against the arrival of permit holders. The house where the refugees come is also daubed with the words on Sunday night ‘No AZC', but that has since been removed. After this, the mayor blocks the arrival of the four young Syrian refugees because of the trauma of the neighbors. This he decides on 4 augustus.
