Parliamentary Elections in the Netherlands
The Netherlands will hold parliamentary elections on October 29. The government of Prime Minister Dick Schoof lost its majority in early June after the far-right PVV, led by Geert Wilders, left the coalition.
A stark contrast is evident in recent political events. On September 20, fascists rioted in The Hague following an anti-immigration rally, intimidating people of color and vandalizing the office of the social-liberal D66 party.
In contrast, on October 5, a quarter of a million people marched in Amsterdam to show solidarity with Palestine.
- Fascists carried flags associated with the Dutch National-Socialist Movement and the colonial East India Company, highlighting connections between fascism and colonialism.
- Nazi salutes were also displayed during the riot.
The growing far-right presence in The Hague has led to increased tensions and intimidation of people of color.
