Concerns about curfews when Ramadan starts | Inland

Grapperhaus therefore promises to enter into dialogue with religious organizations, both of an Islamic and Christian nature, about the curfew and the other corona restrictions. Ramadan and Easter are subjects that are explicitly on the table.

Rotterdam mayor Aboutaleb on Monday expressed his concerns about the willingness of Muslims to adhere to the curfew during Ramadan, which starts in mid-April. “That will be a thing,” Aboutaleb said on Monday prior to the Security Council with other mayors. “The fast lasts at that time until nine o’clock, half past nine. After that, people have the urge to see their families. For a million people in the Netherlands that will of course be complicated. ”

The start of summer time next weekend does not make it any easier for enforcers, according to the mayor.
