Car Found in Canal Amid Asylum Protest Tensions | Amsterdam News
Description
A car mysteriously pulled from the Dieze Canal near Engelen and Bokhoven sparked police investigation—possibly tied to recent anti-asylum vandalism in the area. Graffiti with inflammatory messages targeted homes and a youth center, even hitting properties of residents who support the town’s plan to house 50 unaccompanied child asylum seekers. The controversial shelter proposal, announced in April, triggered protests, an explosion, and highway blockades. Authorities are cautious, noting it’s too early to link the submerged car to the vandalism—but tensions are rising as they piece together whether this is part of a larger protest against the asylum shelter.
