For many years the battle about black Pete has been on going
in Dutch society. Around 200 people demonstrated
against this folklore figure in the town of Dokkum. The Chairman of the ACP Police Union, Gerrit
van de Kamp estimated the cost of the police presence between 350 000 and 500

that cannot be spent on other business. He came under criticism by politicians
who said that democratic rights should not be considered as a financial burden,
because everyone has the right to demonstrate and be protected.Tuesday, December 5, 2017
