Ratelband wants to change the age to 49

On November 5, he declares in court in Arnhem that his case is 49 years old and that he hopes to live otherwise. "If I'm 69, I'll be warned of my limits, I'm 49 years old, then I buy a new house, I drive another car, I take more hay on my fork If I put tinder at 69, I will not get an answer, and if I'm 49, I'll be beaten with this leader.
