Dutch police clash with anti-immigration protesters
Dutch police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse violent anti-immigration protesters in The Hague, resulting in 30 arrests and two police officers injured. Prime Minister Dick Schoof condemned the violence as "completely unacceptable," following clashes where individuals threw rocks and bottles, with a police car set on fire. Right-wing leader Geert Wilders, though invited to speak at the protest, denounced the violence as "utterly unacceptable" and the work of "idiots," emphasizing the need for stricter migration policies.
