Angry white man threatens Sinterklaas presenter

Sinterklaasjournaal presenter Dieuwertje Blok received threats before the new season was broadcast. She said this on the program De Wereld Draait Door. Blok received a threatening letter at her home address. She did not elaborate on the content of the letter. "That I have never experienced before." Blok said. This happened before the first episode of this year's season of Sinterklaasjournaal had been broadcast. NTR, the station that broadcasts the Sinterklaasjournaal, advised the presenter to report the incident. According to Blok, nothing has happened since. She says that she is not frightened by the threatening letter. The sender of the letter is unknown. "A white, angry man, according to me", Blok said.
