Artists' acquittal: March of Civilisation was civilised after all

Police cracked down on the March of Civilisation on 27 June 2011 in The Hague. The demonstration against art cuts, which was controversial because of its rather elitist naming, ended with a few charges by the ME on artists. Their friendly sit-in thereby degenerated into something that opponents of all those elitist subsidy slimmers (according to Martin Bosma of the PVV) were only too happy to see: violence.

Onterecht, blijkt nu ook weer. De rechtbank heeft de kunstenaars vrijgesproken die door de ME waren opgepakt wegens geweldpleging tegen het bevoegde gezag. De rechtbank oordeelde bovendien dat er onnodig hard is opgetreden.

Toch een kleine troost voor de mensen die inmiddels waarschijnlijk van hun broodwinning beroofd zijn.
