Of the authorities in the investigation say 194 to put the “normal” number of agents or boas in. In fourteen cases the afsteekverbod between 10.00 and 18.00 are not maintained. 23 municipalities have not decided what to do.
Wilma Mansfield State of the Environment and Minister Ivo Opstelten of Security and Justice want the inconvenience and excesses that occur curbing around the turn. Recommendations include illegal fireworks harshly.
