Netherlands: Housing activists to protest in The Hague March 10

Event

Housing activist groups will lead a protest in the Lange Voorhout in The Hague from 13:00 March 10 to denounce the high cost of housing for first-time buyers. The gathering, which will likely not exceed one thousand participants, will be addressed by Housing Minister Hugo de Jonge.

Authorities will likely deploy additional police to monitor the gathering and provide security for government officials. Related security measures, including possible road closures and movement restrictions, will likely prompt localized transport disruptions in the area. The action is likely to conclude peacefully.

Advice

Avoid the demonstration to mitigate associated disruptions. Check for disruptions and allow extra time for travel in central areas of The Hague during the afternoon of March 10.
