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.
