## Resource

A new Dutch law, enacted in February, mandates that asylum seekers be evenly distributed across towns to relieve pressure on the overloaded Ter Apel reception center. While right-wing groups push to scrap it, citing loss of local control and protest issues, the Council of State strongly opposes repeal, arguing it’s consistent with Dutch governance and that councils need time to adapt. Despite this, lawmakers continue pushing for repeal, claiming political disagreement, while the current government remains firmly behind the law—recently even monitoring councils failing to meet housing quotas.
