A committee meeting of the municipality Sluis in Breskens about the arrival of an AZC. There are 750 people registered to attend and a large tent has been placed for this. Fifty people have registered as participants and an internet page is active under the motto ‘No to AZC Breskens'. Some residents have brought protest signs. Staten Caroline Kooman of the PVV Zeeland is a public speaker and she says: “There is already a shortage of social rented houses here, there is already a lack of work here, there is already a lack of money in healthcare here, there are too few police here to watch over our safety. We can't take it anymore! The borders must be closed!”. A majority of the city council is against a large AZC for five hundred asylum seekers.
