Violent Clashes in The Hague During Far-Right Anti-Immigration Rally
Violent clashes occurred in The Hague during an anti-immigration rally by around 500 far-right protesters at Malieveld park. Demonstrators threw fireworks and projectiles at police, prompting authorities to ban the march and use water cannons and pepper spray to disperse the crowd. At least 24 people were arrested for weapon possession and public order offenses. Dutch Justice Minister David van Weel condemned the violence, citing Nazi salutes, antisemitic slogans, and attacks on law enforcement. The protest followed similar unrest a year earlier.
