In other places in the country, the police were present as a precaution, because there were reports that riots were imminent. For example, Telegram groups called for riots in Eindhoven. Officers checked IDs of people in the center, writes Omroep Brabant.
The same applied to the Schilderswijk in The Hague. Groups of young people were checked by massively present police officers. Garbage was set on fire and one person arrested, message Broadcasting West.
The police was present on the Museumplein in Amsterdam as a preventive measure, says NH News. Catering owners would have wanted to organize a protest with “as many youth as possible”.
Matches discontinued
There were also disturbances in two football stadiums. Due to the new corona measures, supporters are not allowed to attend matches in the Eredivisie.
In Alkmaar, however, AZ supporters entered the stadium during the match against NEC. Some of them walked onto the field, whereupon the game was briefly stopped.
