Local and national politicians from right cut are furious about the ban which the Hague school boards have ruled on the classic Black Peter. "This is cultural suicide."
The Hague Dutch MP Bart Love (VVD) sticks his chagrin not hide. That the classic Black Peter is no longer welcome at The Hague primary shooting the former councilor in the wrong way. ,, If Hague father of a 5 year old child, I am deeply disappointed, '' he states.
He is determined not less irritated when he after a round of calls to discover that school directors, parents and teachers are not known at the decision of the Hague school boards to the classic Black Pete his big lips, frizzy hair, gold earrings and black skin to decrease. ,, Bizarre. A few policy makers, parents and zero exactly one school director have decided this for 150 primary schools. Revoke that decision. ''
His annoyance is surpassed by that of fellow MP and PVV leader Geert Wilders: ,, Total unacceptable, '' he calls the action of the school. ,, This is cultural suicide. ''
On the right side of the political stir well Hague councilors themselves. The PVV is angry ("Well place for refugees, not for Black Peter") and Richard de Mos Group De Mos. With his petition in favor of maintaining the classic Black Peter he got in one day in 6500 signatures.
Most Hague fractions find Zwarte Piet incidentally, no matter for politics. Or they applaud the changes to occur, as revealed yesterday at a board debatje. Alderman Van Engelshoven: ,, We will energetically continue to celebrate Sinterklaas. Only other colors. ''
