Main Text: According to reports, the group “Extinction Rebellion” plans to block the A12 highway (next to Malieveld) near The Hague Central Station starting at noon on Saturday, September 14.
In previous demonstrations on the A12 near The Hague Central Station, many participants were arrested, and the A12 was rendered impassable for several hours. If the A12 is blocked again this time, traffic disruptions are expected, so please stay alert.
Additionally, during this protest, the police union has announced that there will be no police intervention as part of their protest against the early retirement system. As a result, this demonstration may last longer than previous ones, and the protests may continue in the future.
On the day of the demonstration, avoid approaching the protest out of curiosity and be cautious not to get caught up in unforeseen incidents. Pay close attention to reports from TV, newspapers, and other media to stay updated, and take steps to avoid traffic congestion. If you happen to encounter the protest, please leave the area immediately.
