In Woudrichem the municipality is organizing a consultation evening about the reception of three hundred refugees in an asylum seekers' center. One of the intended locations is in Andel. This is met with a lot of resistance from local residents. More than 20 concerned citizens will be heard at the meeting tonight. The college of B&W let us know that the plan has been canceled for the time being. After the summer, we will look further. The speakers celebrate it as a victory for democracy.
