Sinterklaas arrived in Hellevoetsluis on Saturday. Due to the corona crisis, it was the first time in three years that an audience was present at the entrance to the Netherlands. The good holy man arrived this year on a private jet, the Goedheiligman 1. This was according to Sinterklaas news necessary because the boat would have sunk.
In Sinterklaas news last week you could see how the parcel boat had sunk. This news and images of a drenched Sinterklaas and wet packs led to much unrest among parents who didn’t know how to comfort their crying babies. The NTR, which broadcasts the program, reassured everyone on Friday by assuring in an official statement that everything would be fine.
Yet on Saturday there was also a fuss on social media, because Sinterklaas arrived by plane. According to many people, this is inappropriate in this time of climate problems. “St. Nicholas is not a pope of the climate”, grumble the people who say that the bishop of Mira “is not ashamed to fly”.

For NTR, you die Sinterklaas news ago and broadcasts, on Saturday he would not respond to comments about Sinterklaas’ private jet.
