At The Hague Market: 'Sitting at home on benefits is nothing for me'

Nevzat Gurel, a 58-year-old vendor at The Hague Market, reflects on his 38-year career after moving from Turkey to become an independent business owner with help from local family members. He notes that economic changes, such as the introduction of the euro, altered shopping habits, but he remains committed to the market's social environment and independence. Although his children do not wish to take over the stall, Gurel intends to continue working there indefinitely, stating that staying active is essential to him and that he will only stop if illness or death prevents it.
