In the week of Drenthe we look back on the news week in our province. A week in which a gloomy future was outlined for public transport in Drenthe, both the TT Festival and the Boerenrock festival presented the line-up and the week in which high expectations of the new Pope are from Hoogeveen.
For the weekly overview we opted for other news, starting on Monday with a well -attended liberation festival in Assen. Around 40,000 people came to the Baggelhuizerplas, where Hannah Mae from Emmen appeared on stage.
On Tuesday, Romanian residents of Holiday Park tell their story in Echten. The labor migrants are in danger of coming on the street, because the municipality of De Wolden wants the park to be used for recreation.
“We have never caused problems here and have not argued with anyone. We just want to work and live here, that’s it,” says Valentin Dajblog in the run -up to a lawsuit. “People will really get into trouble here when they have to leave.”
Agents from all over the country will be deployed at the end of June for the NATO summit in The Hague. Agents from the North are also involved in the largest post -war security operation in the Netherlands. They practiced this wake in Drachten.

Will it finally be over with the Japanese Naval Node in the Netherlands? The plant has been causing nuisance in nature areas for years and is difficult to combat. Natuurmonumenten tried it in all sorts of ways and found opportunities. One more expensive than the other, the other a bit faster than the one.
Rudmer Veenstra knows everything about the pest plant and has a golden tip: collaboration with the neighbors. “Because the moment we start to remove it, but the neighbors still stand, it will be back within a few years and you can start again.”
Two suspects of the art robbery from the Drents Museum in January were in court on Friday. The Public Prosecution Service states that there is quite a bit of evidence that the two men blew the door, broke showcases and left with a golden helmet and gold bracelets. Among other things, glass fragments on clothing are placed on the table as evidence.
The suspects said little at the session, so it remains a mystery where the gold gone. It is to find everything in the art treasures. “The removed Dacic art treasures are Romanian cultural heritage of invaluable value. The helmet is 2,500 years old and tells part of the history of Romania”
