Especially the issue of housing asylum seekers (“statushouders”) is a big issue in the Netherlands as there is a situation where Dutch taxpayers are in a competition with foreigners whose rents are paid for by the Dutch taxpayers. This is obviously a touchy subject and a treasure trove for the right wing nut jobs.
I would say that this is a issue for everyone that could think a little.
And I would add that the problem is not that this can be an treasure trove for the right wing (which probably is) but that everyone else is, mostly, denying the problem even exist.

I fully agree with you. Pretending this issue doesn’t exist is definitely not the way to go. That’s a problem the left has had for years now.
