WATCH: Hague locals warn of 'civil war', NETHERLANDS ON BOIL as Clashes erupt at housing protest

Описание: Clashes erupted in The Hague's Vogelwijk district on Saturday as police baton-charged and arrested protesters opposing plans to convert a former Red Cross hospital on Sportlaan into temporary housing for approximately 750 asylum seekers, recognized refugees, homeless individuals, and first-time residents. Demonstrators, including local residents, knocked down barricades and voiced strong opposition, arguing the site—previously earmarked for elderly care and young families—should prioritize Dutch citizens amid housing shortages, with one senior protester declaring "Europe is being ruined by the influx of asylum seekers" and warning of impending "civil wars" due to unvetted migrants and perceived prioritization over elderly and homeless locals. Protesters expressed concerns over mixing groups with PTSD from war zones, drug addictions, and homelessness, claiming it would disrupt the quiet neighborhood's peace and lack proper screening, while authorities maintain the facility addresses urgent shelter needs for multiple vulnerable groups.
