More and more drug addicts are seeking refuge in the center of Utrecht. Especially in the park near the Stadsschouwburg there is a lot of use and dealing, and there are also fights. Passers-by, entrepreneurs and student associations are affected by this. Mayor Dijksma says that there is too little police capacity, but according to experts, more is needed than hard intervention. They argue for a different drug policy and more focus on care.
