There is a full house for the citizens’ meeting in the hall in Humble on Langeland, which starts at 5.30 pm today.
Here, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Integration Mattias Tesfaye comes to talk to the frustrated citizens.
People gathered in large numbers both inside and outside the hall for a demonstration with homemade cardboard signs and banners with the message ‘Langeland says no’.
The police are also present.
Ane-Kerstine Nielsen from Humble flakes at half today like many other Langelanders to show Mattias Tesfaye that they think it’s a really bad idea to put a departure center in Bagenkop.
– Now I am neither xenophobic nor racist, but a small community like Bagenkop with 400 residents can impossibly lift the burden with 130 criminals, she says.
