The stones of this city hall are many hundreds of years old. The shutter is made of wood from a late medieval forest. Despite its long history and tradition, present-day respect for the government has come to a new low point.
Elections have become a moment of regaining respect for those by whom we, citizens, are choosing a new team of people who can and may represent us. And therefore, it is all about respect for ourselves.
Let us celebrate the hope of good governance and prepare to improve things. Tomorrow is cleaning day (election in The Netherlands). We know what is at stake: the life of our children. Let’s go!
