Destruction and chaos due to new corona measures in the Netherlands!
In the city of The Hague, there were significant riots between demonstrators and the police on Friday evening.
▶ ︎ Prime Minister Mark Rutte (54) announced in the evening that there will be significant restrictions in the next three weeks due to increasing corona numbers.
The first riots broke out on the streets of The Hague during the government’s press conference. After Rutte had sent the country into a new partial lockdown, the mood on the street continued to heat up.

There were real street battles. The protesters threw bricks and bottles at the police and surrounding shops. Fireworks exploded several times right next to people.
▶ ︎ For their part, the Dutch police used water cannons and brought police dogs – without muzzles – to support. At times, the police drove the demonstrators to a nearby park, and there were hunting scenes on the streets.
Numerous shop windows were broken. It was initially unclear whether there were injuries.
About two hours after Prime Minister Rutte’s press conference began, the situation on site relaxed again. The protesters dispersed and the police withdrew.

▶ ︎ The clashes are a clear sign that Holland, like last winter, is facing troubled times.
Up to 25,000 demonstrators are expected on the Malieveld festival meadow on Sunday. During the last lockdown in the Netherlands, bloody riots broke out on the Malieveld. The police violently broke up the demonstration at the time.
