Overview
- Roughly 500 right‑wing demonstrators gathered at Malieveld and a planned march was banned after clashes with police on Saturday, Sept. 19, 2026, that left 24 people in custody.
- Police say officers were attacked with street signs, fire extinguishers and fireworks and that they used batons, dogs and water cannon to disperse the crowd.
- Local media and the ANP reported that protesters chanted antisemitic slogans, made Hitler salutes and called for violence against Jews and migrants.
- Authorities have charged the 24 detainees with alleged crimes including illegal weapons possession and resisting security forces and investigations are ongoing.
- Organizers framed the rally around immigration policy under the slogan 'Wir sind das Volk', a development that highlights rising domestic tensions over asylum rules and may trigger tougher policing and legal scrutiny of far‑right groups.
