Beoordeling door de rechtbank
20 april 2026 [9] geoordeeld dat ten aanzien van Dublinclaimanten in Bulgarije van het interstatelijk vertrouwensbeginsel kan worden uitgegaan.
“In many cases, they failed to provide even the most essential services, including adequate nutrition and sanitation in both personal and communal spaces. Access to regular and hot water, as well as maintenance and repairs in bathrooms, rooms, and common areas, remained highly problematic due to the absence of a dedicated budget for upkeep. Long-standing issues such as infestations of bedbugs, lice, cockroaches, and rats persisted across facilities. The Ovcha Kupel shelter in Sofia, the oldest reception centre, deteriorated to such an extent that at one point, the previous SAR management considered its complete closure. By the end of 2025, the only remaining functional space within the facility continued to be the safe zone for unaccompanied children, managed by the IOM. Residents across all reception centres, except for the Pastrogor transit centre, which remained closed for the duration of 2025 until December, continued to express concerns about poor living conditions, in particular the persistent issue of bedbug infestations, which frequently led to health problems such as chronic skin inflammations and allergic reactions. Despite regular disinfections throughout 2025, the issue, which first emerged in 2013 and was largely neglected until 2023, remained a serious and ongoing concern.”
state of facilitiesop bladzijde 96 van het meest recente AIDA-rapport (van mei 2026) geen wezenlijke wijziging is te zien ten opzichte van bladzijde 83 van het eerdere rapport (update 2024). Tot slot heeft de minister erop gewezen dat het nieuwe rapport eveneens vergelijkbaar is met het eerdere rapport ten aanzien van de informatie over de huisvesting van Dublinclaimanten die de asielprocedure definitief hebben doorlopen.
state of facilitiesook is te vinden in de in het bestreden besluit aangehaalde rapporten van maart 2023 (update 2022, blz. 76-77) en april 2024 (update 2023, blz. 83-84). Als het gaat om de huisvesting leest de rechtbank op de door eiser aangehaalde bladzijde 22 verder dat budget is vrijgemaakt voor renovatie:
“In 2025 however, due to the political appointment of a SAR leadership by the government, the SAR received a budget of BGN 16,000,000, of which BGN 3,900,000 solely for capital investments and refurbishment.”
