The prefecture of Amsterdam withdrew on Monday the Museumplein (museum square) one of the favorite photographic frames of tourists going to the Dutch capital: huge red and white letters constituting the slogan I Amsterdam
According to the Dutch newspaper Het Parool the city council decided to withdraw it as a result of a request from the Green Party Groenlinks. Green politicians argued that the letters, laid out in front of the Rijksmuseum (National Museum), had become a symbol of mbad tourism and "exaggerated individualism".

[196459002] Despite criticism against the measure, a majority of Council members voted in favor of removing letters with a maximum height of two meters. However, the slogan I Amsterdam will continue to be used to promote tourism in the city.
"The lyrics represent the open and tolerant character of Amsterdam," said a local tourism marketing representative. After ten years of countless visits from tourists who have climbed, seated, or slept on letters to pose photos, the huge letters must be restored.
A smaller version of the monument is available at Schiphol International Airport, southwest of Amsterdam.
