It was a short debate in the Utrecht city council on Thursday afternoon. It was requested by Victor Paalman of the student party Horizon. He sees the abolition of hospiteren as a threat to student culture. He says he speaks on behalf of concerned Utrecht residents. “The Horizon faction shares the students’ concerns. After all, the student house is a safe haven for many,” Paalman said during the weekly question time. “The fact that you can currently choose who your new housemate will be within the strict standards of the SSH is very nice for many houses.”
