The village of Ter Apel in the northern Netherlands hosts the largest permanent asylum-seeker reception center in the country. It has a capacity of 2,000 residents, and is already overcrowded past that limit. Some of the culture-enrichers who are guests at the center have been making nuisances of themselves in the surrounding community.
Geert Wilders, the leader of the Party for Freedom (Partij voor de Vrijheid, PVV) paid a visit to Ter Apel a couple of weeks ago to speak to concerned local residents.
