Summary
About 200 people held an anti-immigration protest in The Hague, marching under the banner “March for a Safe Netherlands.” Participants carried Dutch flags and Prinsenvlaggen—an orange-white-blue flag historically linked to the NSB, the Dutch National Socialist Movement—and some dressed as Zwarte Piet, a figure now associated with racial and political controversy.

Before the march, an organizer urged the government to “listen to the people,” warning that otherwise “we will show it in another way,” referencing a previous September protest in The Hague that turned violent and led to a police car being set on fire.

The march took place under heavy police supervision. The city center had been declared a security risk area, allowing preventive searches. Police detained several individuals before and during the event, and officers blocked side streets as the march moved through the city.
