Jan Jaap van der Wal enjoys the privileges in his current country of residence that the celebrity shelf entails, but in the Netherlands he benefits less than. “You too have to detour.”
Cabaretier Jan Jaap van der Wal has already emigrated to Belgium a while ago and there he had to apply for a so -called aliens card. “That is absolutely not comparable to traveling to Europe from Somalia, but I did taste the atmosphere. They try to make it as difficult and unattractive as possible, “he says in it Ad.
Higher
It is consciously made very difficult, says Jan Jaap. “Don’t help people. Leave people in the wrong row. If you have to let passport photos shoot, you can only pay cash and with appropriate money. Why would you do it that way? Why can’t it be a bit friendlier? You don’t feel especially welcome, especially in the beginning. “
And then the comedian still enjoyed a well -known appearance. “My wife had that even worse because I am known and Flanders is a hierarchical society. I am slightly higher. ”
Clientelism
How does Jan Jaap notice that? “There is a lot of clientelism. When I get to a road in Belgium, they say: Alle Mr. Van der Wal, ahead, just drive on. “
Unfortunately you have that much less in the Netherlands, he concludes. “I also tried that once in Amsterdam, because I was so used to it. I told that guy that I had to go to the other side and he looked at me from: yes, so? Just kill. ”
