Dutch legislator calls for creating space for fleeing Ukrainians, saying refugees from Middle East or Africa have caused 'shortage of beds' and must be expelled, in another case of racism and selective solidarity for refugees in Europe
"Every bed they [refugees from Mideast, Africa] occupy is a bed where no real refugee from Ukraine can sleep," Ruben Brekelmans says, adding to ongoing racism and selective empathy for refugees in Europe.
A Dutch lawmaker has called for space to be made in the Netherlands for "real refugees from Ukraine" and for those "who have no right to stay" to be returned to their country of origin, apparently referring to the refugees escaping conflicts and poverty in the Middle East and North Africa. "Ukraine is the largest country in Europe, borders four EU member states, and is about the same distance away as Spain. In short, this is our region," he said, adding that there was a "shortage of beds" in the Netherlands even without Ukrainian refugees and that solutions should be found to receive more refugees from Ukraine.
He underlined that others seeking asylum should swiftly be returned to their country of origin and that those who do not cooperate should be forced to leave the Netherlands by amending the necessary legislation.
