Epe Threatens Fines Over Asylum Shelter

The municipality of Epe is threatening to impose a penalty fee if a temporary asylum shelter does not close by tomorrow. The Central Asylum Reception Agency (COA) has informed the municipality that timely closure is not possible due to the lack of another location for the 276 asylum seekers currently housed in a hotel in Epe. The municipality insists on adhering to the agreed-upon closing date of March 20th, despite concerns about the continued strain on asylum accommodation in the country.
