The Netherlands will elect a new parliament from Monday - unrest in advance due to corona policy
Around 13 million citizens will be called on Monday to vote for the 150 members of the Second Chamber.
In the polls, the right-wing liberal VVD of Prime Minister Mark Rutte is undisputedly in first place. The curfew as part of the lockdown will also be maintained on the three election days.
However, there are exemptions for late voters and employees of the polling stations.
For the first time, the parliamentary elections will be held over three days.
The authorities want to equalize the flow of voters in order to guarantee the applicable hygiene measures.
As early as January, the Netherlands was shaken by violent protests against the government's corona policy, and at the beginning of the month an explosive device detonated near a corona test center in Bovenkarspel.
In particular, the night curfew is an occasion for Protestants to demonstrate violently against the government's corona policy.
