Right-wing protests in the Netherlands devolved into violent clashes between demonstrators and police on Saturday, just weeks before the general election. Rioters threw objects, burned a police car, and attacked the office of the centrist D66 party. Police dispersed the crowd using tear gas and a water cannon. The demonstration, attended by hundreds, focused on stricter asylum policies. While injuries and arrests remain unconfirmed, Geert Wilders, an anti-Islam lawmaker, condemned the violence.
