The Dutch State Council allowed the construction of a housing complex for abroad temporary workers in the village of Dorshout. According to The European Conservative, the investment is expected to increase the population of the village 5 times. The local community lost the dispute over the scale of the change imposed on its immediate surroundings.
The decision ends the civilian dispute
The Dutch ultimate Administrative Judicial Authority approved the plan for a fresh complex in Dorshout. The facility is intended to service abroad temporary staff. According to The European Conservative, their number will increase the population of the tiny settlement 5 times. afraid residents yet had to admit the decision.
The material made available does not indicate the number of places in the complex or the date of commencement of construction. This does not change the heart of the dispute: the investment has an incomparable scale to the existing size of the settlement. For a tiny community, this means changing traffic, request for services and the everyday character of the locality.
Temporary work, lasting effects
The Dutch economy has been utilizing abroad labour for years. Companies gain flexible workers, but the costs of accommodation, infrastructure and integration frequently scope municipalities and investment neighbours. This is simply a classical case of profit privatization and socialization of costs.
The criticism of specified a model is not an attack on workers. Those coming to legal work deserve decent conditions and clear rules. That is why large groups of accommodation should be subjected to strict assessment, and residents must have a real impact on decisions changing their locality.
Unvoiced government loses confidence
The ruling may follow Dutch procedures, but legality does not close the debate on proportions. A five-fold change in population is not an average construction investment. It's a rebuilding of the local community.
Poland should learn from this before further improvement of a model based on inexpensive work from abroad. Business needs cannot automatically outweigh security, housing and local families. economical improvement is intended to service the people and local communities, not to bring them to the function of the back for another people's accounts.
