Queen Beatrix 'Hanged' on Anarchist Poster

[Marengo]

The Anarchistic Group Amsterdam is using a poster of a blindfolded Queen Beatrix hanging from a gallow and with the text 'Death to the Queen' to promote a party they have on 29 April.

The PVV party wanted a debate about this in parlament but found no support. VVD member Fred Teeuwen called the poster 'tasteless' but thought it was a matter for the police and the public prosecutor, not for parlament. Green-Left leader Femke Halsema had a simular opinion.

PVV parlamentarian Brinkman wants to forbid the entire anarchist group, he suspects that the party will be organised from the squatershouse 'Vrankrijk' on Spuistraat in Amsterdam.

To be continued, no doubt...

Lesée Majestée of the worst possible nature!
Unheard of and not to be tolerated.
As most of these scum bags at Vrankrijkare international misfits,including ETA sympathisers,no,no joke but true,
ask Marengo,kick all of that scum out of our country!!Tolerance,YES,abuse of tolerance,HECK NO,never again.

To be continued,but not for long,if it was up to me.

Like I said,let the marines move into action in a spontaneous way again,like they did decades ago whiping
the National Monument on the Dam Square free of scum,unexpectedly.

I'm not too much right-wing,no PVV nor TON,but jeez,would I love to be part of that action.

No more BS,sub-zero tolerance at once,immediatly!!!

Hope those whiners in The Hague (parliament/gov.) get the message,before it is delivered at their doorstep.

The politicians won't do anything in this matter I think, and quite rightly so as the police/public office should decide what to do in this matter, not the piliticians.

I have little sympathy for these anarchists/squaters. though I have met several of them (and they were quite friendly) their organisation is used for ETA and even FARC. And the way some squaters are treating the police (sabotaging houses so the police will get injured) and such are criminal too. I am usually wondering why the city of Amsterdam doesn't do much against these criminals, I suppose the squaters movement has this romantic image from the 60-ties and many babyboomers that are now in power still think they are as harmless as in those days.

The poster will probably be defended with the 'freedom of expression' argument, though it puzzles me what they want to express. In over-all I think actions like these aren't very bright of the squaters. Dutch society has made a firm move to the right (still moving) so there will be more and more voices that want the city/goverment to do something against them when they misbehave.

The municipality of Amsterdam?They're too chicken,or downright cowardice,and not just on this subject.
Btw,squatters,it's the pet memory for quiet a few at the Stopera and it's "soviets".

What they try to express?Nothing besides creating havoc,damage and injury.

Freedom of expression,my foot.This abuse of that freedom,so cherished by all of us,so abused by many that
don't have any legal reason for staying here.at all.whatshowever.

And they're monitored by the AIVD?Big deal.Round them up ruthlously,immediatly.This nonsense has been going on far too long and it's all getting far too "normal",like it's part of life.Well,not my life,not in our country.

Well, I have to say, having lived in the Netherlands, and spent quite alot of time on the Spuistraat (I used to live on the Singel, 2 doors down from Yab Yum) that I never understood the Dutch mentality towards squatters. I don't think that they should have any rights what so ever. But that is my opinion.

My thoughts exactly!

2 Doors do...oh,well,you were in a great & lively neighbourhood

Almost a memory too,as they,the soviets at the Stopera have decided to close down on
much of these "pleasure palaces",the entire district if possible.

They do not know what they are doing.Again.
