Riot Police Confront Far Right Violence in The Hague: A Dark Mirror for Democracy The past few years have seen a disturbing trend of far right protests and marches turning violent across Europe.
This weekend's events in The Hague are the latest manifestation of that worrying phenomenon, with Dutch riot police forced to disperse hundreds of protesters who had gathered in the city center to express their opposition to immigration and asylum policies.
Violence erupted when some protesters attacked police officers and threw fireworks at them, with eyewitnesses reporting Nazi salutes and antisemitic chants among the crowd.
