Gepubliceerd op 7 oktober 2015 om 15:11

Dijkhoff State Secretary for Security and Justice does not rule out that several municipalities are forced to take more refugees than agreed previously.

That said Dijkhoff Wednesday, after Tuesday's Orange village in Drenthe had forced 700 refugees to take extra on. ,, I try to minimize '' he says. ,, I am also not happy that I had to do it Tuesday. The alternative was even more annoying. ''

,, There comes a time when you have to choose, '' Dyke Hoff continues. Otherwise ,, people had to sleep outside. It allows us to the test. ''

It is, Dijkhoff the intention that the number of asylum seekers in Orange is quickly reduced to seven hundred. But how long will the extra asylum seekers in Orange, remains unclear. ,, I can not run to stick there, "said the State Secretary.

Waylaid
His decision was to many residents of Orange wrong. Upon his departure on Tuesday he was harassed by residents, who destroyed his car. In addition, his car hit a woman who was trying to stop injured.

It is the first time that Dijkhoff imposes such a decision to a municipality. He did so after the mayor had refused to agree to the additional asylum seekers, in addition to the seven hundred who already sit.

Issues
The government should have tried in recent weeks just as Dijkhoff have to avoid the enforcement of emergency. Following the decision of Orange there were very few responses from mayors who said it could have been with them, said the State Secretary. ,, At these levels, we need a lot of care. ''

Another problem is the flow of refugees from the emergency to normal care. Dijkhoff: ,, That does not work well "13,000 people with temporary residence permit for asylum seekers should be actually accommodated by municipalities..

,, We have the responsibility to provide them shelter, "said Dyke Hoff. ,, We have to come up with better solutions in close consultation. ''

Border in sight
According VVD faction leader Halbe Zijlstra is the limit of what the Netherlands socially and physically handle in sight. ,, I understand the anxiety among the residents of Orange very well, "he says.

, Apparently the distress so high that Secretary Dijkhoff this has to decide, in order to prevent people roam the streets and cause inconvenience. All the more reason to do everything to stem the inflow. "

Rush concert
Earlier Wednesday called Diederik Samson, the government on Wednesday to still go to the table with the 32 largest municipalities in the Netherlands on the reception. He finds that municipalities no longer have to be "ambushed" with large numbers of refugees, such as in Orange.
