Dutch comedian Guido Weijers was one of the guests on the terrace during the playful action in Breda. At some point, civil disobedience becomes a duty according to Laurens Meyer, owner of many catering establishments in the Netherlands. The terraces of café Boerke Verschuren in Breda were put out early this morning and the first guests immediately took their place in the sunshine of Breda. At 12 o'clock sharp, the operation was started and it was awaiting enforcement. Every place in Brabant does it differently, but Breda is at the forefront of serving on the terraces. In Tilburg mannequins on the chairs, but in Breda serving and even serving snacks as a protest against the policy of the government.
Café Boerke Verschuren and café Moeke on the Ginnekenmarkt in Breda started serving drinks for guests on the terrace on Tuesday. At around 12.30 pm, the enforcers visited Johan de Vos of café Boerke Verschuren and the terraces were cleared after he was summoned by enforcement.
According to De Vos, it is madness at its best, but it is good to show that when there are no terraces, people stand together. Opponents say it was a wrong move by de Vos. Jacco Vonhof, chairman of the business organization MKB-Nederland understands the action but does not encourage civil disobedience.
ketchup in protest
Catering establishments are taking action today to be able to open at least the outside terraces quickly. In various municipalities, catering companies have taken playful actions against the corona measures. Whether it stays with playful actions or whether it is the gate of the dam will become clear later. Earlier Tuesday morning, the terrace of Boerke Verschuren was smeared with ketchup. The posters that were attached read 'Opening = blood on your hands'.
