Aufruf zum Streik aller Coffeshops in Holland

Der niederländische Coffee Shop-Besitzer Nol van Schaik ruft alle Coffee Shop-Besitzer auf zu einem bundesweiten Streik während der Wahl zum nationalen Parlament am 9. Juni. Dadurch, dass die Türen für einen Tag geschlossen bleiben will er die Besucher darauf hinweisen, dass dies zur alltäglichen Realität werden könnte, wenn rechtsextreme Parteien eine Koalition bilden.

Die zur Zeit grösste Partei CDA (Christlich-Demokratische Allianz) hat bereits angekündigt, dass Drogen "unerwünscht" seien und sie alle Coffeeshops schliessen wollen. Geert Wilders' Partei für Freiheit (PVV) ist gegen jede Form von Drogen (Alkohol ausgenommen) und sie meinen, das Land sollte die Politik der Toleranz gegenüber weichen Drogen beseitigen. Laut diesen "Freiheitskämpfern" sollten Drogenabhängige in moderne Arbeitslager gesperrt werden.

Eine Koalition zwischen den genannten Parteien und der VVD (Liberale Partei) und CU (Christliche Union) könnte zur Schliessung aller Coffeeshops führen. Indem man die Türen aller Coffeeshops am Wahltag schliesst, will van Schaik zeigen, wie die Städte ohne Coffeeshops aussehen würden. Städte wie Amsterdam und Maastricht würden einem Anstieg des Drogenhandels auf der Strasse gegenüberstehen.

this is a good idea! and i'll make sure i'm not in the Netherlands on that day. it would be too depressing.
i really, REALLY wish for the best for all coffeeshop owners!

That's a really good idea.Slow changes have already started and are hardly noticable.If they continue the coffeeshops will be gone.This drastic change for one day will show how important the coffeeshops for everyone are.
Cheers and good luck!

Good on them! Hope this goes ahead (and that none of the coffee shops use it as a way to make some extra $$ by staying open)!
I hope that the NL sees quite an economical hit on that day as a result too (we all know the only way to truly secure our freedom of choice as far as the government is concerned is to give them a financial motive...)

I wish them the best, but the feeling is things are going really downwards in NL, if such christian-fascists get elected there will be hawfull times ahead..

i also reckon it'd be a good idea for all the people who work in coffeeshops to go somewhere and act all unemployed... maybe get drunk... just loiter about and show the political parties what would happen to all those honest, working people.

sorry for the bad "news" ... but unfortunately the
closure of all coffee-shops is a done deal and will
be executed by any party elected ... :(

even the labor-camps are sure as hell coming
in the next reich spanning all over the globe.

Good idea to do this on election day, everyone should be very aware of this mayor threat.
And do keep in mind as well, that more and more politicians do see the benefits of legelisation/regulation/earning taxes out of it.

So there still is hope!

and may we set this big step in to freedom, with the world to see and follow...

hope dies last ... but it dies, nonetheless :(

I really dont know exactly what to say, but that I'm really saddened that it has come to this. I see the NL as a kind of flagship for other countries to follow, in many areas. And now theres a real threat to sinking that ship.

also, makes me wonder about the motives of those supporting to close the shops, and should they succeed I think it would not be the last of what you would hear from them...

anyhow, supports and best wishes from Finland.

It's the 21st Century and I feel like we are going backwards. Why people can accept everything but soft drugs?

Ignorance is the answer.

I really hope the strike will make people think. I really hope Neverland won't fall and become just a good memory of a forgotten past.

thats rly sad but i fear the coffeshops in NL will close -.- ....ppl r rly stupid.....if they close the coffeshops the blackmarket will BOOM!!! anyway we rly r going backwards in evolution....and rly why baning drug plants/drugs??? that doesnt changes anything in the number of addicts.....and in fact, taking drugs is on responsibility of the taker......they mostly know what the drug does or can do......

gaboss - 2010-03-18 01:57:28

governments do not care about the will
of the people ... they never did *shrug*

unfortunately ... :(

It sure is a great idea, but first i wonder if really all shopowners would strike and furthermore i dont think that it´ll do much...sadly!

The smokers of Netherland NEED to form a force and demonstrate against the repression and the possibility of a fascist state!!!

Guy, form Groups..go out on the street and DO something. If youl demonstrate close to the German border (venlo/roermond etc.) even german activist will come and support you...but only the Dutch can fight for their, and OUR FREEDOM!
So I beg you people, just one of you...Start something...before its too late
