André van Duin’s statue of his character Flip Fluitketel, previously missing, has been relocated to Elsloo by the local old year’s association, Vesuvius. This year, they aimed to highlight the positive community spirit rather than social issues. The statue will be returned, and local groups are creative in their efforts to raise awareness about various community issues through similar antics, showcasing a tradition of artistic temporary ‘thefts’ related to New Year’s celebrations across the country.
