Hoorn Cuts Planned Asylum Center Capacity by Half
The city of Hoorn has approved a temporary shelter for up to 50 asylum seekers, reducing the original plan from 100 places after opposition from the municipal council and residents.
A demonstration outside Hoorn city hall turned tense as protesters opposed a possible shelter for asylum seekers, status holders, and Ukrainians, with 100-150 demonstrators throwing eggs and igniting flares.
Asylum center, get rid of it
City authorities emphasized that the decision is final, with the temporary shelter to be located at Johannes Poststraat for a maximum of two years.
