Nightclub demonstration ends peacefully; venue in Tilburg fined

NL Times  

Nightclubs opened in violation of Covid measures Saturday night in a protest that was largely peaceful. "We know that we are sold out…and we can receive a lot of happy people,” said Pieter de Kroon, owner of the Chicago Social Club in Amsterdam. The municipality of Amsterdam warned in advance that nightclubs that stayed open after 10 p.m. would be fined 4,500 euros. The Dutch unions for street enforcement teams ended a party in Het Patronaat in Haarlem, ordering the club to stop performing at 10:45 p.m., after which the public left the venue. The demonstration, called “The Night Stands Up,” was a way for the nightlife sector to protest the fact that the government’s plans to reopen society so far exclude nightclubs.
