Far-Right Protest in Amsterdam
Around 1,000 far-right activists gathered on the Museumplein in Amsterdam to protest against immigration and to "defend the Netherlands".
A heavy police presence was seen, with officers on horseback and a water cannon on standby, following a riot at an anti-immigration protest in The Hague last month.
- Dozens of arrests were made in The Hague
- Attacks on the police, parliament, and political party offices occurred
Wij zijn Nederland
Some protesters carried modern Dutch flags, while others carried the flag used by the Dutch Nazi party, with orange instead of red.
A group arriving under police escort carried a large banner with the words "defend Netherlands" in English and lit orange smoke bombs.
