Queen Nikkolah – a black female character who offers children in Belgium a counterpoint to the festive figure of Sinterklaas and his controversial sidekick, Zwarte Piet, or Black Pete – has found herself in the eye of a cultural firestorm.
The row erupted after news broke that Queen Nikkolah was to visit Ghent town hall this week for an event that more than 200 people signed up to attend. Conservative and far-right politicians took aim, accusing the character of threatening tradition and seeking to use a children’s event to push a political agenda.
