Climate activists took to the streets of the Netherlands, demanding an end to government subsidies for the fossil fuel industry. The demonstration, organized by Extinction Rebellion, saw more than 10,000 participants march along the A12 motorway towards The Hague.
Despite warnings from the authorities not to obstruct the vital traffic artery leading to the seat of the Dutch government, the protesters pressed ahead with their cause. In response, police deployed water cannons to disperse the crowd. While 2,400 protesters, including minors, were arrested, there were no injuries.
Extinction Rebellion remains steadfast in its commitment to protest until the Dutch government stops using public funds to support the oil and gas industry. The rallying cry of the marchers, who included people of all ages, was “The seas are rising, and so are we.”
