The ME ceases performance Amsterdam expects thousands of corona protesters
The police unions NPB, ACP, ANPV and Equipe say they will continue their action, but weapons may come if there are serious attacks for public order. Foreman of Samen voor Nederland Michel Reijinga has already said that he will ‘drink coffee’ on the Museumplein on Sunday. such events last year led to riots. The Museumplein is a safety risk area on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. In that area everyone can be searched preventively.
The Amsterdam triangle (municipality, police and the Public Prosecution Service) banned the demonstration because the activists are said to be out for confrontation and breaking the rules. The police also had a strong effect that demonstrators were prepared to use violence on Sunday. According to Reijinga, that is ‘complete nonsense’ and rioters are never welcome at his demonstrations.
Sunday’s preceding strike is part of the Wake-up call 2022 relay event.
