Overview

• Reports from the weekend demonstration describe repeated shouts of “Sieg Heil” and antisemitic slurs in central The Hague.
• Damage targeted the D66 party office and areas near the Binnenhof, and groups turned on journalists and police during the unrest.
• Observers noted prominent extremist symbols, including White Power crosses, Lonsdale clothing and Prinsenvlaggen.
• Geert Wilders did not appear at the event and later distanced himself from the violence, as analysts stress that proving direct links to political speech is difficult even when it shapes climates of action.
• Researchers characterize the scene as part of a loose network of right‑wing extremists, hooligans and fight clubs, while security experts urge firm legal and police action to safeguard the state’s monopoly on force.
