Volt, D66, ChristenUnie, GroenLinks, CDA, Groep Van Ek/Woltjer, PVV, EnschedeAnders and the Partij voor de Dieren have questions about two properties of these digital locks. The system registers when someone unlocks or locks their room or home. In addition, the parties are critical of the point that someone can only enter their room or home by using a smartphone. The resident is also obliged to download an app. According to the parties, these properties of the lock are 'undesirable'.
A lot of questions
The parties therefore want to know from the municipal executive what it thinks of digital registration in Enschede when residents enter and leave their house or their room. 'Does the Municipal Executive think it is undesirable that only a smartphone and app provide access to your own room or home?', is one of the other questions. Finally, the parties want to know whether the alderman is willing to ensure that the key system is not introduced for tenants in Enschede.
Ethical issue
According to the petitioners and co-sponsors of this motion, it is an ethical issue and not a legal issue. The parties mainly want to express and state that the development is undesirable. They see a house or room as private domain, and it should not be necessary to enter it with a smartphone. Registration does not fit in with that either.
