Violence erupts in The Hague as police clash with anti-migration protesters, leading to arrests and injuries ahead of elections.
Violence broke out in The Hague as Dutch police deployed tear gas and water cannons to disperse thousands of anti migration demonstrators. The protest, organised by a right wing activist just weeks before a national election, turned chaotic with thirty people arrested and two officers injured.
Protesters waved Dutch flags and far right symbols while clashing with authorities, throwing rocks and bottles. A police car was set alight, a highway was blocked, and the headquarters of the centre left D66 party was vandalised, with its leader condemning the destruction as an attack on democracy.
Far right leader Geert Wilders, who currently leads in opinion polls, condemned the violence despite being invited to attend.
