(euronews)Dutch police clash with hundreds of far-right protesters at anti-immigration rally

Summary: Dutch riot police clashed with around 500 far-right protesters in The Hague during an anti-immigration and asylum rally. Violence broke out after some demonstrators threw fireworks and other objects at police, shouted antisemitic slogans, and performed Nazi salutes. Police used water cannons, dogs, baton charges, and mounted officers to disperse the crowd, making several arrests.

The protesters argued that mass migration was threatening the Netherlands and had planned to march through the city, but authorities banned the procession after the violence began. Justice Minister David van Weel condemned the attacks on police and the use of hate speech, calling for a firm response.

The unrest follows similar violence at a right-wing demonstration in The Hague the previous year. The latest clashes illustrate the continuing tensions in the Netherlands over immigration and asylum policy.
