Police arrest a thousand protesters at a climate demonstration in The Hague. Around a thousand people were arrested during the protest.
The highway has now been reopened to traffic. In October 2023, protests briefly ended because Parliament called on the government to present a plan to phase out fossil fuel subsidies. But since this has not happened so far, ‘Extinction Rebellion’ is now accusing the government of not keeping its promises. The outgoing climate minister Rob Jetten is planning to present his proposals for reducing subsidies to parliament in the coming days.
