The factions of the Utrecht VVD, Christian Union, Horizon and Utrecht Solidair asked written questions about the arrival of the man who called Hamas’ terrorist acts ‘a boost’. Mayor Sharon Dijksma is also against the arrival of Hoblos: “I believe that if someone makes such extreme statements, he should not be given a platform in Utrecht. In our city there is always room for dialogue and expression, but not for calls for violence and hate speech. We are in contact with the Jaarbeurs and the security services about the meeting and its interpretation.”
