‘Doctors without Borders: ‘This is how you are in camp on Lesbos, so at a asylum seekers’ center in Ter Apel” (AD 26-8). What an enormous embarrassment for the Netherlands that Doctors without Borders started working in Ter Apel. It is truly unimaginable and degrading. The Rutte government is the main cause. For years, shelters have been closed, staff have been laid off. Governing is looking ahead, isn’t it? There must be a solution now, and today, for all people who are forced to sleep outside. There are still empty buildings throughout the country, mainly offices, but also buildings on industrial estates. It is incomprehensible that it cannot be used. Contrary to what is claimed by many, we Dutch discriminate very much: we make a difference between refugees from Ukraine and from other war countries. Immediately give the places that are still empty for Ukrainians to other displaced persons.
