Geert Dales wrote that he wondered whether the mayor of Amsterdam was right in her assertion that she could not take action against pro-Hamas demonstrators who, according to him, glorified terrorism and covered their faces at the National Monument. He stated that her appearance on Pauw and De Wit, which he called preachy and arrogant and dismissive towards a minister and the House of Representatives, showed that she, in his opinion, did not sufficiently realize that the Municipalities Act required her to maintain good relations with, among others, the central government. Dales expected that the central government would be less willing to help Amsterdam in the short term when the city asked for assistance. #Amsterdam #Gemeentewet #Politiek (translated)
