Petition to name Russian embassy road Navalnyweg nears 100,000
Dutch NewsThe petition to rename The Hague street where the Russian embassy is located after the dead opposition leader Alexei Navalny is heading for its 100,000th signature, with one week to go. “Reaching 100,000 signatures would make the urgency we feel here even more visible,” petition organiser Lissa Hollmann told Dutch News. The street where the Russian embassy is located is currently named after 16th century VOC official Andries Bicker who made his money trading in furs from Russia. So we could ask just to change the section where the Russian embassy is located.” The council has received various requests to rename the street but it normally takes at least 10 years after the death of a person before a street can be named after them and the process has to be gone through carefully, council spokeswoman Vicky Hendriks said earlier.
