Massive anti-immigration protests erupted in The Hague over the weekend, just weeks before the Dutch national election. More than 1,500 demonstrators clashed with police, who deployed tear gas and water cannons after rioters torched a police car, vandalized party offices, and hurled rocks and bottles. At least 30 arrests were made and two officers injured. Prime Minister Dick Schoof condemned the violence as “shocking and unacceptable,” while far-right leader Geert Wilders also blasted the rioters, despite his party’s push to restrict migration.
