For some time now, there has been a heated debate about whether an erotic center should be built in Amsterdam. Local politicians continue to back the construction of the erotic center, although only one in five Amsterdammers is in favor of the arrival of such a center, a study from Het Parool commissioned by research bureau O&S found.
Around 300 people gathered at the RAI in Amsterdam-Zuid on Wednesday evening to protest against the possible arrival of an erotic center ahead of the district council’s meeting on the matter. Among the protesters were remarkably many children holding up signs amid the noise protest, Parool reports.
