The progressive rigorously in his indignation, and drew the projector, threw three hours long, the advertising image on the western wall of the church, ado out the plug.
Responsible for action: a ten-strong team around the Dutchwoman Femke P. (38): "We wanted to hurt anyone. While we do anything without permission, but we do not make crap. We chose this place because the place is beautiful and is located in a shopping area. But I fear that the church was not a good idea. "
