On December 21, slogans attacking the asylum seekers' centre, a swastika and other symbols were found on the walls of the Church of Our Lady in Budel, North Brabant. On the side wall of the church building, texts were found such as 'azc weg' ('close down the asylum seekers' center'), 'own people first' and 'f*ck the police'. There is also a middle finger on one of the entrances to the church and a picture of the Prophet Muhammad on the church building.
Mayor Roland van Kessel of the municipality of Cranendonck, which includes Budel, says he cannot tolerate this kind of slander: "Applying such texts to our church is disrespectful. It's not the first time this has happened. You should know that we do not tolerate it."
