He said that demonstrators made Nazi salutes, chanted antisemitic slogans, attacked police and threw fireworks at riot officers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cThanks to all the police officers who are once again standing up for our democratic rule of law,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The Hague municipality banned the march after violence broke out among demonstrators gathered at the Malieveld, a park in the city center, and later ordered the crowd to disperse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Saturday\u2019s unrest came a year after rioting erupted around a right-wing demonstration. A police car was set on fire during clashes between black-clad protesters and police, and the headquarters of the centrist D66 party \u2014 whose leader, Rob Jetten, is now prime minister \u2014 was attacked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2026 The Associated Press.
