Jan Dulles fully agrees with the message from Jett Rebel, who posted an open letter on Tuesday in de Volkskrant. According to the singer of the 3JS, the current corona policy is not sustainable for the entertainment sector. According to him, we should now be thinking about a future with corona.

,,I was very happy that Jett Rebel dared to say that for once and that de Volkskrant also posted it,” Dulles said yesterday in the RTL 4 program Humberto. “The story he tells is very beautiful, not pathetic at all, but he did stand up for the entire industry, the entire cultural sector.”

Dulles says he does not understand the current policy whereby ‘from one day to the other’ a line was drawn through the entire festival season ‘because there were a few infections’. ,,And on the other hand, there are 25,000 people in the stadium at PSV. It can no longer be explained. There will now come a time when we all just have to say: ‘what does this mean?’.”

Just looking at infections is no longer realistic, says Dulles. ,,Then we can keep looking for another three or four years and we can never open again. We just have to think of a future where Covid is just there.”

In his open letter Rebel called on the cabinet to do more for the troubled entertainment sector. He said it breaks his heart “to feel that the government in this country is systematically crushing the culture sector”.
