Outrage as Dutch authorities give up to €10k to refugees to ‘go shopping’

This is an automatic summary, original reduced by 42%.

Some Dutch residents are outraged after finding out that a few cities have been offering as much as €10,000 to refugees to buy furniture and other necessities, local media reported.

While Oisterwijk, South Netherlands offers as much as €10,602 for a family with two children, in other cities, such as Bernheze, Schijndel Veghel and Sint-Michielsgestel the same family may receive around €3,500.

BD also said that some cities require refugees to pay the sum back, while others, such as the most generous Oisterwijk consider the money "a gift."

Leader of the right-wing populist Party for Freedom, Geert Wilders said the whole situation is "Discrimination" against Dutch residents, urging Dutch Deputy Prime Minister Lodewijk Asscher and the public prosecutor to address the issue.

"Hey Asscher and Public Prosecutor, why don't you address this discrimination? For a 'refugee' but not for the Dutch?" he tweeted.

Oisterwijk in particular faced criticism for "Playing Santa Claus" to refugees while some of its residents are living below the poverty line, according to comments.
