Years Spent Preparing for New Location, But Coffeeshop Relocation Is Cancelled Anyway: 'I Miss the Justification'
Four political parties in The Hague are demanding explanations from the city council regarding the cancellation of coffeeshop Galaxy's relocation from Weimarstraat to De Uithof, despite years of preparation and previous approval by the former coalition. D66 councillor Marije Mostert, joined by SP, PRO Den Haag, and Volt, expressed surprise at the abrupt decision by the new coalition, which opposes the venue due to concerns over nuisance and the area's recreational function. While the coffeeshop owner and some residents were disappointed by the lack of communication and support, the city administration plans to seek an alternative location. The parties have submitted written questions to the municipal executive, requiring answers by October 13.
