Netherlands: Anti-fascist and other leftist groups to protest FvD party event in Amsterdam July 10

Event

Anti-fascist and other leftist groups are calling for a protest in Amsterdam July 10 to denounce an event organized by the Forum for Democracy (FdD) party. Activists will gather outside the Amsterdam Convention Center on Europaplein around 13:00. Attendance will likely not exceed the low hundreds.

Tight security will likely be in place around the convention center. The protest and related security measures could prompt localized traffic disruptions. The action is likely to proceed peacefully, but isolated clashes between police and protesters and between protesters and event attendees cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Avoid the protest as a routine security precaution and to mitigate associated disruptions. Allow extra time for travel in the affected area. Heed instructions from security services and leave the area at the first sign of confrontation.
