Mayor Jan van Zanen of The Hague is prepared for anything when it comes to demonstrations, he tells an ANP reporter. He believes protests and demonstrations suit The Hague. "We are the demonstration capital of the country. I’m facilitating the hell out of myself, to put it somewhat irreverently."
Farmers are going to The Hague to protest after all. At least from Midden-Drenthe, groups of farmers are heading to the capital on their tractors during the night with the intention of arriving there on Prinsjesdag.
The Hague looks back on a Prinsjesdag with ‘many happy people’, on which there were also ‘plenty of demonstrations’. Not only in the designated demonstration area on the Lange Voorhout, but also outside of it. In total, the police arrested 21 people. Follow all developments on Prinsjesdag below via our live blog.
