Thousands of protesters joined a demonstration against government measures put in place to try to curb the COVID-19 pandemic, in Amsterdam on Sunday.
Protesters congregated in The Olympic Stadium area, Oosterpark and Westerpark and then marched to Museumplein. These areas have been designated as ‘risk locations’ by police, allowing them to stop and search those entering.
On December 19, a national lockdown was implemented, with all non-essential businesses ordered to close in an attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19 and its variants. The lockdown measures were softened on January 14, with all non-essential shops and contact businesses like hairdressers being allowed to reopen again within a limited timeframe. While bars and restaurants will remain shut.
The protest was permitted by the Amsterdam mayor and police and is expected to have an attendance of between 25,000 and 50,000 people.
The demo was organised by group Nederland in Verzet literally 'The Netherlands in Resistance'.
