The debate was requested by Hester Assen of the PvdA. To many questions from Assen, the mayor referred to a letter she sent to the council earlier this month. It discusses the judge’s verdict about Jesus Lives. That club wanted to demonstrate at the clinic with a bus. The mayor assigned Jesus Lives a place some distance from the clinic, but the action group disagreed and went to court. He agreed with Jesus Lives, and determined that the mayor should reconsider the request for a demonstration at the Vrelinghuis. The mayor appealed against that decision, she now wants a decision from the highest court in the Netherlands, the Council of State.
