NTR rejects Halsema’s offer to record late Sinterklaas movie | NOW

Omroep NTR has the offer from Mayor Femke Halsema of Amsterdam to record a video for the Sinterklaas journal declined, the broadcaster announced on Thursday.

Of the 355 Dutch mayors, 11 provided no film for it Sinterklaas journal. The 344 other notables all recorded a message in which they thanked children from their city for sending a drawing to Sinterklaas. The NTR especially regrets the absence of Amsterdam in the overview.

A spokesperson for the municipality of Amsterdam said on Wednesday that Halsema did not have time to record the video before and that she will do so this week. As far as the NTR is concerned, that is a passed station.

“It Sinterklaas journal has repeatedly contacted the municipality of Amsterdam in August and September, “a spokesperson for NTR said.” We always received the answer that the mayor of Amsterdam, Mrs. Halsema, did not give priority to our request. We thought and think that was a great pity, because we think the capital should not be missed. “

According to the NTR, it is no longer technically possible to adjust the interactive menu on the website Sinterklaasjournaal.nl if Halsema still delivers a film. “The site is currently running on many international internet servers. We have now also informed the municipality of this,” said the broadcaster.
