The NVU opted for a demonstration in Baarn after a fuss about the use of the Dutch flag. A majority of the city council voted against a motion to hang a Dutch flag in the council chamber.
The municipality therefore follows the government’s national flag protocol. “On the same days as the central government, the municipality raises the flag.” Various media made a comparison with the Ukrainian flag on top of the town hall.
The NVU demonstrates “for the preservation of our tricolor”.
