Dutch riot police dispersed several hundred far-right protesters in The Hague on Saturday after violence broke out during a demonstration organized by the group We Are the People. 
The unrest began at Malieveld park, where demonstrators threw fireworks and other projectiles at police officers. Witnesses reported that some protesters made Nazi salutes and chanted antisemitic slogans during the event. In response to the escalating violence, the municipality of The Hague banned the march and ordered the crowd to disperse.
Police employed pepper spray and a water cannon to control the rioters. During the clashes, a police car was set on fire, and the headquarters of the centrist D66 party were attacked. 
Authorities arrested twenty-four people for offenses including non-compliance with dispersal orders and illegal possession of weapons.
Political leaders condemned the events. Justice Minister David van Weel called for an "extremely firm" response to what he described as "disgusting scenes." Prime Minister Rob Jetten stated that the demonstrators had deliberately sought confrontation with the police.
