Summary
In The Hague, Dutch police used a water cannon to disperse anti-immigration protesters after some threw bottles and rocks and set a police car on fire. A splinter group blocked a highway, prompting police intervention. The protest, organized by right-wing activist Els Rechts, drew thousands. Far-right PVV leader Geert Wilders declined to attend but condemned the violence. The demonstration comes ahead of the October 29 snap elections, triggered by the collapse of the right-wing coalition government after Wilders withdrew his party in June over disagreements on asylum policy.
