Overview

• Schiedam’s emergency ordinance took effect Friday at 08:00 for Schiedam Centrum and Schiedam Oost, restricting face coverings and items such as sticks, stones, fireworks and flammables.
• The announced anti‑azc march is set to start Saturday at 13:00 on the Stadserf, with organizers estimating about 300 participants walking through the city centre.
• Officials say they have signals of an unannounced demonstration on Saturday afternoon, and they have assigned an alternative site for an anti‑racism counter‑protest at ’t Land van Belofte.
• Zwolle plans for a protest on Monday at the Grote Kerkplein during a council meeting on extending emergency shelter on Meeuwenlaan, and the city reports no indications of expected disorder.
• Recent tensions continue to shape local planning: a previous protest in Zwolle’s Stadshagen saw disturbances and arrests, and a pro‑AZC event in Houten on Saturday faced noisy counter‑demonstration but no physical clashes.
