Dat heeft alom tot verbazing geleid. </div><div dir="auto">Hieronder de reactie van Khalid, de laatste woordvoerder van Wij Zijn Hier: </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">O P E N L E T T E R</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Dear Mayor of Amsterdam; Femke Halsema,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">When I met your predecessor Jozias van Aartsen in 2018, I showed him my respect for two reasons.</div><div dir="auto">When We Are Here had squatted the Dieselstraat he refused to evict the houses. He said that it was not his responsibility but for the public prosecutor and the judge to decide. He did not yield to pressure but let humanity prevail.</div><div dir="auto">The other reason is that I felt his warmth and open mind.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Now I feel the gap between we Are Here and you. You seem to telling us: “I don’t like you”. </div><div dir="auto">I am afraid of you. You seem to be able to make any decision.</div><div dir="auto">What shocks me most is that you destroy all the efforts to normalize the situation of undocumented migrants. You propose measures that even the right wing has not come up with.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Your other predecessor, Eberhard van der Laan, would come to us and discuss about ways forward.</div><div dir="auto">He created shelter in the former prison in the Havenstraat, which was opposed by some, but we should say thank you and we want more of that.</div><div dir="auto">Why can’t you build on that? What is your solution?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The refugee crisis is not something new. Nor are the reasons for migration: climate change, the arms industry fostering wars, poverty and dictators backed by the European Union.</div><div dir="auto">I think Groen Links has understood this and that they tried to make a change with some steps. But you have destroyed the effort. I can only hope that you can come with a better alternative solution.</div><div dir="auto">In the name of refugees’ hope.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Your kind regards</div><div dir="auto">Khalid Abdu Jone</div><div dir="auto">Former spokesperson of We Are Here.<br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">For more info, or you feeling like to involve, here’s the contact information please?</div><div dir="auto">Email@: <a href="mailto:Khalid.jone@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel=" noopener noreferrer" >Khalid.jone@gmail.com</a> / mobile phone number <span class="js-phone-number">+31684307241</span>,</div></div>
