Dutch police use tear gas, water cannons against anti-immigration protesters

네덜란드서 총선앞 反이민 폭력시위 30여명 연행 Tensions are rising in the Netherlands, just over a month ahead of its snap general election, as police in The Hague violently clashed with anti-immigration protesters demanding stricter asylum policies. On Saturday, a protest organized by a right-wing activist drew approximately 1,500 people to The Hague, with demonstrators expressing their dissatisfaction with current asylum policies and calling for tighter immigration control. Protesters threw rocks and bottles, blocked a highway, set a police car on fire, and also attempted to advance towards the Dutch parliament complex. In response, authorities deployed tear gas and water cannons to disperse the crowd. Two police officers were injured, and around 30 individuals were arrested. Prime Minister Dick Schoof condemned the violence, describing the events as "shocking and bizarre." Immigration remains a significant rallying point ahead of the October 29 elections, reflecting growing polarization and frustration in the country. #AntiImmigration #Netherlands #Protests #반이민시위 #네덜란드 #조기총선 #arirangnews #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook :   / arirangtvnews   📣 Twitter :   / arirangtvnews   📣 Homepage : https://arirang.com/ 2025-09-22, 10.00 (KST)
