The image is in the night from Monday to Tuesday without permission brought. A note was found on the empty spot with the text: “Corona threw a spanner in the works. André now has time for another performance.”
on Facebook De Geitefok writes with the campaign that it wants to draw attention to the heavy corona time that has gripped the Netherlands for two years.
“We are toiling through this crisis with blood, sweat and tears. The water is on the lips of the entrepreneurs and the healthcare staff is working hard,” writes chairman Jan-Bart Hof. “We hope that 2022 will be a better year for everyone and that we can finally say goodbye to all the annoying measures.”
playful action
The statue, made by Streetart Frankey, has been on Dam Square since last summer. It is an initiative of catering entrepreneur Won Yip and Rachel Hazes, the widow of the deceased singer.
Yip already let us know after the disappearance that he was thinking of a playful action. “I believe in the good of people. So to start with, give him a can of beer every fifteen minutes and then I assume that the statue will be replaced after New Years.”
It also seems that the statue is returning to Dam Square. De Geitefok will contact Won Yip and Rachel Hazes and says it will promise a ‘good handling’, writes AT5.
