According to their statistics, about 300 new citizens of Ukraine arrives every week, and almost all available options for their displacement are already occupied. As it is noted, these are mostly women with children, but there are also men who “know that there is work here.”
Utrecht is said to have been for the first time for the first time to refuse to register Ukrainians. They also say that due to lack of funding, the existing placement centers will probably be forced to close.
Centers for accommodation where Ukrainians settle are often not municipal property – they pay rent. It is also not easy to expand the network because they often want financial guarantees before being re -refurbished.
In the city of Dordrecht, a suburb of Rotterdam, they say that they are regularly forced to refuse to receive new people, and do not know what to do with a half of already inhabited Ukrainians – in February, the lease is completed and the building will change the purpose and have not yet been found.
At the same time, legally municipalities are not allowed to refuse to settle for people who turn to them. There is already a precedent in Groningen when Ukrainian citizens have challenged a refusal in court and won, the city has appealed.
Municipalities want “long -term plan and additional funding” from the government.
The Ministry of Migration and Asylum recognizes the problem and stated that they think about options. In the future, they allow the co -payment for housing, if Ukrainians have income.
The Netherlands is in the fourth place in the EU in terms of the number of Ukrainians accepted per capita, after the Czech Republic, Poland and Germany.
We will remind, the government of Poland has prepared a new project for assistance to Ukrainians after the veto of President Navrotsky.
The leader of the Czech populists wants to review the residence permit for all Ukrainians.
