Carry Tefsen hopes the Amsterdams will not flee Inside

Today we celebrate the birthday of Amsterdam. The document is dated October 27, 1275 and can only be seen this weekend in the archives of the city of Amsterdam.

It concerns the toll privilege of Count Floris Fifth with which Amsterdam-Americans could carry goods without charge via part of Holland. The document is the oldest preserved piece on which Amsterdam is mentioned. It is not bigger than ten centimeters in twenty, but it is considered the birth certificate of our capital, although there has already been a colony around the place where Amsterdam is located circa 1200.

Worries

Tefsen, born and raised Amsterdammer used the unveiling of this document to express his concerns about tourism pressures and housing prices in the capital. "I have a wish," she says. "I hope that the Amsterdamers will stay here and not run away – everyone is welcome here, but I want the flow of tourists to be better organized by senior officials who have learned . "

The actress also pointed out the high costs of housing in the city. "These horribly expensive houses are a real problem, I hope that people with a very small wallet will also be able to live in Amsterdam because when everything is a matter of money in the city, Amsterdam loses his warm heart. "

Tefsen, who promised her heart to the IJ, was happy to lead the opening ceremony of the toll privilege. "Today, of course, it is this important document with which the citizens of Amsterdam, 743 years ago, were able to transport goods freely through the rural seigneury of Floris de Vijfde. In any case, it can not be better. "

Amsterdam has some other festivities on the occasion of the anniversary.These take place at the Amsterdam Museum and at the Mennonite Church.
