13.11.2024The Day Parliament Confronted Dam Square
Following the weekend's unrest in Amsterdam, parliament held a charged debate about antisemitism and integration. Geert Wilders opened with demands to dismiss Mayor Halsema, while Premier Schoof faced criticism for his integration remarks. The CDA's Bontenbal sought middle ground, emphasizing solutions over rhetoric.

By afternoon, despite an emergency order, pro-Palestinian protesters gathered at Dam Square. Police initially surrounded demonstrators, later arresting and transporting them in GVB buses. The planned relocation to Westergasterrein failed, leading to renewed demonstrations at Dam Square by evening.

Meanwhile, the cabinet discussed stronger measures against antisemitism, including the possibility of revoking Dutch passports from dual nationals. The business sector saw significant developments with Blokker's bankruptcy announcement and Just Eat Takeaway's sale of Grubhub to Wonder for $650 million.
