20.09.2025The day of the Den Haag anti-immigration riots
Dutch media on September 20 extensively covered escalating anti-immigration protests in The Hague. In the early afternoon, reports emerged of demonstrators entering the A12 highway and clashing with police, with D66 party offices having windows smashed and tear gas deployed (NRC). These incidents quickly escalated, with later reports detailing water cannons and burning police cars around the Malieveld during what was dubbed "Elsfest" (NRC, de Volkskrant, Trouw). The Mayor of The Hague condemned the violence as "unheard of and unworthy of the Netherlands." By evening, police reported over 30 arrests and two injured officers, with officials stating these were "deliberate riots" rather than a demonstration (NRC, Trouw, de Volkskrant).
