Far-right protesters clash with police in The Hague on Saturday

Dutch riot police broke up hundreds of far-right protesters in The Hague on Saturday. The demonstration was against immigration and asylum policies. Violence started at Malieveld, a park in the city centre, and local authorities banned a planned march. Protesters threw fireworks, rocks, and bottles at officers. Police responded with tear gas and water cannons. Around 1,500 people also blocked a major highway through the city. A police car was set on fire, and protesters smashed windows at the D66 party headquarters. Some in the crowd made Nazi salutes and shouted antisemitic slogans. Thirty people were arrested and two officers were injured. A year ago, very similar violence happened at a right-wing protest in the same city.
