Groningen residents impressed by New Year’s conference: ‘Wonderful, I still have to cry’

“I can’t believe it,” agrees Alie. “I had read that it could be too serious. It’s also very serious, very impressive too, but there’s a lot of humor in it as well. Yes, it really touched me, I still cry a little. Because it is a lot about Groningen, about what we have experienced here in terms of earthquake misery. This is taken very seriously. Not just because of the misery of the earthquake itself, but also because people are in shit because of how the government has dealt with it.’
