Urgent law on corona measures
Several demonstrations have been registered for Friday, at various locations, the spokesperson indicates. For example, a call has been made to protest against the emergency law that must provide a legal basis for the government’s corona measures. The event is on the Lange Voorhout and the Lange Vijverberg. There would also be demonstrations at the police headquarters in The Hague against police violence. Trade union FNV wants to hold a peaceful protest at the Belarusian embassy with a group of more than sixty union members on Friday afternoon.

According to the police spokesperson, the municipality of The Hague has previously decided that demonstrations may only take place on the Malieveld and the Laan van Reagan and Gorbachev located there. The officers present approached protesters and referred them to Malieveld, the spokesman said. But many protesters did not heed this.
