Overview

• Several thousand gathered at the Malieveld before about 1,500 moved onto the A12, blocking traffic as police deployed water cannon and tear gas.
• A police vehicle was set ablaze and windows at the D66 office were smashed, with further vandalism reported near the Binnenhof.
• Authorities later updated totals to 37 arrests, with four officers and seven journalists injured, and investigators reviewing footage to identify more suspects.
• Observers noted orange‑white‑blue Prinzenflaggen and the presence of right‑wing groups and travelling hooligans, including Voorpost banners calling for “Remigration.”
• The protest was called by online influencer “Els Rechts”; she distanced herself afterward, while Geert Wilders skipped the event and denounced the rioters as “idiots.”
