David Icke was allowed to speak in Amsterdam after all, Mayor Femke Halsema has now announced. In this case too, the decision deadline had already been exceeded for months, but now Halsema has been forced to admit, at the request of the Amsterdam municipality's objections committee, that she should not have silenced Icke last year, lawyer Jacob van der Veer reported on social media. At the end of last year, she banned the Vredesdemo.nl organization from using facilities to allow online speakers to participate in the demonstration, to prevent Icke from giving a speech on Dam Square via video link. At that demonstration, the police even attempted to deprive Mordechaï Krispijn of the opportunity to speak by forcing the organizers to turn off the sound system.
This was the speech in question:

Perhaps Halsema's statements about Bob Vylan further contributed to the appeals committee's decision. She called the British punk rapper's remarks tasteless, but
simultaneously stated that the ban on censorship means "there should never be any prior intervention." She did so with Icke. Icke
calls it a 'victory' , if you can even call it that, and assumes this means he will now be allowed to speak at Dutch peace demonstrations via video link.
