“We will come up with a petition on Thursday,” says local resident Taco Jansonius after previous reports from the news site News030. “First of all, we are surprised and very proud that the slavery monument is coming to the Griftpark,” he adds. “That is a special honor. But then we see that the place that has now been chosen by the municipality does not do justice to the history and the beautiful design of the park. Fortunately, we see a much better place and we are starting a petition to bring that spot forward.”
