the violence has been described as one of the worst in 40 years



The Dutch government has introduced its toughest measures since the start of the pandemic - including a night-time curfew which runs from 21:00 (20:00 GMT) to 04:30. It is the first in the Netherlands since World War Two.

Anyone caught violating it faces a €95 (£84) fine.

The country's bars and restaurants have been shut since October, while schools and non-essential shops closed last month.

adjusted the title since the riots now went nationwide

those youth even got defended by one of our investigation tv presenter/private investigator Peter R De Vries, whom said ''have you spoken to some of rioters then'' to eindhoven mayor Jorritsma, and Jorritsma replied ''they aren't on my friends list on social media'' last night at talk show Jinek here

so?

our government doesn't want to give in to lowlife scum, this curfew is important in our fight against corona

Rotterdam mayor Aboutaleb has spoken towards the rioters today more like ''does it give you a good feeling that you've ruined our city'' ''does it make you feel good waking up next to a bag of stolen stuff from supermarkets'' + he said he would support businesses and help people keep their jobs amid coronacrisis so people don't need to worry

and he showed his appreciation for all efforts by police, in rotterdam there have been 50 people arrested

omg, just read there will be riots very very close to where i live tonight :worry:

So who are the rioters who have taken to the streets all over the Netherlands for the past few days, and why are they rioting? Commentators and experts have been trying to attach some meaning to this week’s street violence.

Journalist and Talk show legend
Catherine Keyl, who was present at some of the squatters riots in Amsterdam 40 years ago and made a documentary about Urk, is in no doubt in the Telegraaf. ‘It’s too easy to call these people scum, or say they’re being held back through lack of opportunities, or that they simply don’t hold with authority,’ she wrote.

‘I fear that what we have here is a bunch of spoiled brats who are bored and go on the rampage for kicks. Am I wrong to say that girls were in a minority? In that case there is some hope for the future.’


The Capitol Foreign commentator Bernard Hammelburg said on BNR radio that the riots were ‘not that different’ from what happened at the Capitol in the US. ‘Torching a test facility, demolishing a train station and attacking a hospital is perhaps worse than storming a parliamentary building,’ he said.

‘Anti-corona measures nutjobs are linking arms with anti-corona measures hooligans, he said. ‘These are the types who, at home, in their own environment and even without going on demonstrations don’t give a **** either. I’m pretty sure these are the groups that are largely responsible for the high number of infections. And the curfew that they’re so opposed to.’

Far right In the NRC, political scientist Léonie de Jonge said that although it is not exactly clear who the rioters are and what motivates them, some had clearly been listening to the far right. The PVV and Forum voor Democratie, she said ‘incited the events because they literally called for riots’. She pointed out that the local branch of the PVV on Urk said it ‘would do everything in its power prevent the curfew from taking place place’ and that the FvD had said ‘this is the second night that Rutte imprisons the Netherlands. The FvD will continue to resist’. These incendiary right wing messages for the behaviour of some of the rioters, at the parties front doors, she said.

I am genuinely surprised its taken this long really.

I mean, SAGE predicted back in March that the public would only 'stand for it' for a short period of time. Hence why the system was meant to be sorted for the lifting of it..but nope. Shovel more money to mates and let the situation run wild.

rebuilding and cleaning of my city is being done as we speak now, must be done in time before Kings Day 2021 which will be held more at a secret location and coronaproof without visitors, there were talks of it first being cancelled but our King Willem-Alexander insisted on it going through anyway, to help lift morale in the nation again
