This Tuesday evening a petition will be presented to the city council of Eijsden-Margraten. Eleven hundred inhabitants of the villages of Rijckholt and Gronsveld have signed the petition against the establishment of a large-scale asylum seekers center in Rijckholt. A spokesman says they are not against the reception of refugees in the village, but that the number of 450 asylum seekers for the village with 650 inhabitants is too high.
