The Hague: demonstration call in a personal capacity ‘completely irresponsible’ Inland

“Extra wry is that the people who call for ‘just to go and don’t mind a ban’ because this would be an attack on the rule of law is actually creating a situation of lawlessness and chaos. That is completely irresponsible, ”says Remkes. The activists themselves say they want to make their voices heard ‘in love and patience’.

On Friday, the municipality banned the demonstration of Virus Madness on the Malieveld. Subsequently, leading party Willem Engel of the group had announced that they would demonstrate in a personal capacity and invite everyone to do the same.

Fear of new riots

According to The Hague, the demonstration is a threat to public health and there are “clear signs that serious disorders should be feared.” Just like last week, the Virus Madness group has filed summary proceedings against the demonstration ban.

According to the municipality, there are clear signs that the meeting will be hijacked by groups, such as football hooligans, who are out for chaos and violence. People are likely to be compromised and should be another more important argument for people not to come.

Get out

Everyone who arrives in The Hague will be addressed by the police with the request to immediately turn around. Anyone who ignores that command does so at their own risk. It is naive to think that if you behave peacefully, all the people around you will do the same, says the municipality. “The police are doing everything to prevent things from going wrong; you can help them by not standing in between. ”
