Rotterdam, my city. You’re used to the directness, the live-and-let-live attitude. But sometimes, tension flares up in the most unexpected places. Over the past few hours, Rijnmond news has been focused on one location: an out-of-hours GP clinic in the city. Images were projected onto its facade that many found deeply offensive. I’ve seen the images myself, and I understand the uproar.

Projection on building in Rotterdam

What exactly happened?

It’s about a projection onto the facade of the out-of-hours GP clinic. The images displayed text and moving visuals that many interpret as glorifying violence. I first heard about it last night through the city's news feed, and it was immediately the talk of the neighbourhood. This isn't just a simple complaint; the images were such that the police launched an investigation straight away. It appears to be an action linked to the conflict in the Middle East, but the timing and the location – a medical facility – makes it particularly jarring.

The reactions: “This doesn't belong here”

I spoke with a few people in the neighbourhood. No one could believe what appeared on the building's facade. A man I've known for years put it well: “You can have your opinions about the situation over there, but don’t bring it to a place where people come for their health. This isn’t a platform for that.” It’s a sentiment that’s widely shared. The debate is also raging on local stations in the region. People are shocked, but also angry that something like this can happen without anyone stepping in.

  • The projection: Displayed text that called for violence and was considered offensive.
  • Police investigation: The police immediately started an investigation into the images and possible perpetrators. They have secured CCTV footage.
  • Mixed feelings: While there is understanding for freedom of speech, there is no tolerance for incitement of hatred in the city, especially not at an out-of-hours GP clinic.

Stay informed via trusted channels

In situations like this, you just want to know what's going on. No coloured narratives, just the facts. I actually turned on the radio myself last night to see if any more details had emerged, but for the latest news, I still stick closest to home. Rijnmond remains the source that knows the city inside out. Whether you listen over the air, watch, or follow online, you can tell immediately: these are people who know the street names, understand the neighbourhoods, and know exactly why something like this stirs up so much feeling.

It’s a waiting game to see what the police investigation turns up. For now, the important thing is that calm returns. The out-of-hours clinic continues to operate as usual, as it should. But the images from last night will linger in the city for a while. It’s a stark reminder that global tensions can sometimes suddenly hit very close to home, sometimes in the most unexpected of places.
