The intention is to receive partying youth all over the country on February 12. “And not just for one night, but just every night,” it sounds in a video on the Instagram page of the action ‘The night is up’. “Everyone deserves the night to get to know or be themselves. If you don’t see that, you’re sleeping. That is why the night rises to shake the government and everyone awake again.”

According to a spokesperson for the campaign, the aim is to bring clubs back to the attention. “We notice that that is not happening at all and that just hurts after being closed for two years.”

“With the action we want to show ourselves how we can open safely again,” it sounds. According to him, it is certain that the target group of nightclubs now visits each other at other locations and parties. “We can do that much more safely with security guards, bar staff and a good extraction system.” The Covid Safe Ticket will also be checked.

The sector will continue to consult with the Ministry of Economic Affairs on Monday. There, “input would be collected that would then be taken along to the weighing moment for the cabinet”. According to a spokesperson, no decision will be made about the use of 1G in nightlife (which would mean that all visitors should be tested; ed.). ‘Corona minister’ Ernst Kuipers said last week that he wanted to investigate in the House of Representatives whether the night catering industry could open with the so-called 1G policy.

According to the current rules, the catering industry in the Netherlands must close at 10 p.m. and a seat is mandatory.
