Overview

• The demonstration begins at 13:00 on Museumplein, with organisers hoping for about 200,000 participants and police calling that estimate realistic.
• Mayor Femke Halsema says she will monitor from the police crisis center and asks attendees to make their point peacefully, as the city prepares alternative routes for emergency services.
• Marchers are set to follow a five‑kilometer route via Stadhouderskade, Overtoom, Amstelveenseweg and De Lairessestraat, with transit diversions and crowd‑control gates set up at Centraal Station.
• In Schiedam on Saturday, separate protests for and against a planned AZC were kept apart by police and remained orderly, with three arrests for insults under a temporary emergency order.
• After recent clashes at AZC protests in Amersfoort involving national groups, cities are on alert, with Utrecht projecting a red line in solidarity with Gaza and Zwolle expecting Monday’s anti‑AZC protest to proceed calmly.
