Reception crisis: should more places be opened?
Asylum seekers are sleeping on the street for lack of reception places.
- The state must open emergency places immediately
- Open places, but speed up the return of rejected applicants
- No new places: arrivals must be reduced first
What's at stake: Everyone finds the situation unacceptable; they differ on the cause: a shortage of places to fill, or too many arrivals.
The left's argument
The state has a legal duty to house asylum seekers. Sleeping on the street is unworthy.
The centre's argument
Open emergency places while speeding up procedures and the return of rejected applicants.
The right's argument
The lack of places shows a saturated system: arrivals have to be reduced first.
