They were ‘very intense’ weeks for Ester Weststeijn, the mayor of IJsselstein. The arrival of a temporary emergency shelter for refugees caused a great deal of unrest, with a damaged town hall and an injured police officer as the low point. “I understand that people feel blindsided.”
Three weeks after an emergency shelter for refugees was announced, a small group of IJsselstein residents is still demonstrating in front of the town hall. They did so again tonight. Later, during a committee meeting, they were able to tell the city council what they thought about it for the first time. "How can you guarantee us that it will remain safe?"
"You don't protest with bricks," says Minister for Asylum Affairs Bart van den Brink in response to the vandalism inflicted on the town hall in IJsselstein. The CDA member calls this unacceptable in a post on X.
