Commissioner of the King Ina Adema sees it all the way. Prime Minister Dick Schoof, who dances in a farmhouse or a Pèkske with his adjutants Dilan Yesilgöz and Pieter Omzigt around the Hofvijver. And in the meantime Caroline van der Plas and Geert Wilders hand out free sausage rolls at the Binnenhof.
All nonsense, but the commissioner said it with intention. She gave a speech on Tuesday evening in the Provinciehuis in Den Bosch during the key bearer’s drink. In the building where it is often bitter seriousness, it was now long live the fun. The meeting of all princes, princesses and the necessary adjutants, fools and members of eleven councils of all carnival rich in our province takes place annually.
“Carnival is the best medicine against chagrijn.”
According to Adema, it would all be different if people would look up each other more often and invest in each other: “When I look at the world around me, I sometimes think: it is one big parade with partygoers who did not understand.” Except in Brabant, because in the rest of the country they can learn a lot from us according to the commissioner: “Carnival is more than pleasant, it is the best medicine against Chagrin. It is a celebration of fraternization and meeting. ”
Adema also announced that she will celebrate Carnival in Boemeldonck (Prinsenbeek) this year. In 2026 she is a guest on the other side of the province, in Klotland (or Asten).
