Pressure on asylum reception in Ter Apel

Problems in asylum reception were reported to be continuing as pressure on the Ter Apel centre increased again. Reporter Pim Markering of the television programme News of the Day visited Ter Apel and spoke with asylum seekers. The First Chamber was also reported to have removed penalty payments for asylum seekers, while JA21 and SGP called for stricter asylum measures.

The available account did not provide further details about the situation at the centre or the asylum seekers’ statements.
