The New Year festivities in the Netherlands have left two people dead, dozens with serious injuries and destroyed Amsterdam’s historic Vondelkerk church.

still not going to be enough to do something about this fucking firework plague, though
They literally already made a law to ban it for next time.
I doubt it’s going to change much. Most of them buy their fireworks in German supermarkets near the border anyways, and nothing will stop them from doing so in the future.
Germany also banned fireworks in 2020 and 2021 and it only resulted in people importing much more dangerous fireworks from Poland and Czechia.
Unless they get banned in every EU country, or borders get closed, this will only stop the types of people that were using fireworks responsibly in the first place.
I’ll believe it when I see it, tbh. This has rolled on for so long, I have no faith that it’ll be enforced at all.
