MORE, PLEASE: Dutch rioters FORCE council to abandon migrant centre with ultra-violent protest.

Plans were being floated to house 1,500 asylum-seekers in the town of 27,000.

The violence peaked when fireworks and bricks were thrown at assembled police officers. Authorities claimed a small group of out-of-towners were responsible for the protest getting out of hand. Two police officers sustained minor injuries in the clash but nobody was seriously hurt.

The demonstration, which took place late last month, was met with a wave o[f] condemnation. A minister in the country called the incident “un-Dutch” and said there had never been anything like it. Deputy justice minister Klaas Dijkhoff said: “This is not how we deal with each other in the Netherlands. This is unheard of.”

But, incredibly, the riot ended in a victory for the protesters. Little more than a week after the debris had been clear, the mayor of Geldermalsen said the plans had been cancelled.
