02:31Rob Vietten, called on rioters to, quote, keep their hands off political parties and said they would not
02:36be intimidated. Other political figures, including caretaker Prime Minister Dikshof and far-right party
02:44leader Heft Wilders, denounced the violence. Hundreds had gathered at the Mali-Welt in The Hague after a
