A disgraceful statement from Tjeerd Van Bekkum, CEO of the Leeuwarden Cultural Capital 2018. My mother was not run over by a tram, dear @TvBekkum. She was blown up for writing. In Europe. In 2018. If you don't understand the significance of this then you're in the wrong job.
Dear @TvBekkum, The assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia is not old news, as you claim in this Dutch paper It is very relevant to Leeuwarden and Valletta, Cultural capitals of 2018 And what is culture worth to you without freedom of expression?
