Spokesman Halsema: there may have been 10,000 people on the Dam | Inland

A well-entered source of De Telegraaf knows that the municipal department dealing with crowd management was not informed of the protest in advance, so they were robbed and could not take measures.

In the control room of the “traffic center” of the municipal traffic tactics department, where dozens of screens hang and traffic flows in Amsterdam are mapped and measures are taken at busy events, people were therefore robbed. “At the busiest time of the demonstration, between 10,000 and 12,000 attended. This information has also been shared with the team of Mayor Halsema, ”says the source.

A spokesman for Mayor Halsema says on Wednesday evening that the actual number of protesters is still being investigated. This may turn out to be higher than previously known. “We are still investigating this, but for now the estimates range from 5,000 to 10,000 people.”
