Sinterklaas, a character who shares his roots with Santa Claus, is the central figure of the Dutch winter celebrations. Most of the entertainment, however, is provided by Sinterklaas’s "helpers", the clown-like Black Petes, or Zwarte Pieten. Considered by many to be the best part of the whole tradition, Black Pete has a large fan base in the Netherlands. However, the image of white people with blackened faces has sparked worldwide controversy. Mathurin said he does not wish to interfere in the Pete discussion. "I want a solution and not get stuck with the problem," he said.
