Natacha Harlequin looks back with a good feeling on her participation in the much-discussed Veronica Inside broadcast, which almost led to the end of the program. The lawyer joined and entered into a debate with Johan Derksen, following his statements about rapper Akwasi.
The reason for the special broadcast is known: Derksen saw an image of a Zwarte Piet appear on the monitor, ‘are we sure this is not Akwasi?’ Was his response. Harlequin Wilde was invited to enter into dialogue and accepted. “I didn’t know the whole program; I never watch it, I don’t know those people. I wanted to show the Netherlands that a conversation is indeed possible”, she tells. Volkskrant Magazine.
Harlequin did not want to attack Derksen personally. “I was not angry at all. All I wanted was to have a good conversation with Johan, and I have the feeling that it worked. And that is not only my merit, but also his.” The criminal lawyer would even like to argue again. “Without cameras. I know he can engage in an empathetic debate,” she says. “I know some people may not believe this after all he has said, but I do hope everyone has seen that connection is possible.”
