City council: Fire at Tragos was an incident, no sanctions

Fire at Tragos

MAASTRICHT. There was only nuisance behavior and not interference during the fire at Tragos a few weeks ago. The image has been rather inflated in the media, according to the municipality. And there will be no sanctions for the student association. This and more, the municipality writes in response to questions from the city council.

Only "one person interfered in a negative way to put out the fire," says the reports from the police and fire department according to the college. That is a middle-aged man who was not a member of Tragos. 

The bonfire was illegal because Tragos did not have a permit, the college acknowledges. Nevertheless, the college labels the fire as an incident and therefore is not going to intervene. Several political parties had requested the city council to do so. In addition, writes the college, landlord Heineken has addressed Tragos "on the proper use of the premises." That seems to be the end of the matter.
