“In consultation with the police, we have decided that it is not wise for her to come to Terschelling,” said an AVROTROS spokesperson. “We couldn’t guarantee her safety 100 percent.” According to the broadcaster, the decision was made in consultation with Koopmans. AVROTROS cannot make any statements about the nature of the threat. The Oerol festival itself does not provide any explanation either.
Koopmans himself seemed to indicate on Twitter on Monday that he was displeased with the decision. “That you have been invited to Oerol and that it will be canceled after consultation with the police. Scientist 2.0!” she writes. Behind it she places four icons of an angry face that swears. Koopmans could not yet be reached for further explanation.
On social media, many visitors to Oerol are surprised and disgruntled about the news.
