After a brief demonstration against the cabinet’s corona measures, clashes with the Mobile Unit came between Malieveld and The Hague Central Station. According to the police, rioters used considerable violence.

During the riots, a total of 425 people were arrested and often sent away with a fine. Twelve people were immediately arrested for open violence. In July, the police showed photos of other suspects on the website police.nl and in the television program Opsporing Verzocht, which led to more arrests. The action group, known from foreman Willem Engel, was still called Virus Madness at the time.
