Some people started throwing fireworks and stones to demonstrators and to the police. Stones also went to the asylum seekers’ center itself. A spokesperson for the municipality of Haarlemmermeer, which includes Hoofddorp, called the atmosphere “grim”.
The police initially reported that the counter -protesters with fireworks and stones threw people who demonstrated against the AZC. There is less certainty about that on Thursday.
According to Mayor Marianne Schuurmans of Haarlemmermeer, it was not the counter -protesters who threw fireworks and stones, but a group of young people who disturbed the demonstrations. The police are less firm than the mayor. A spokesperson tells NU.nl that it is currently being investigated who exactly is guilty of what.
Schuurmans sees that many people were “really touched” by the Koran burning, she writes on X. “But these riots had nothing to do with that.” The mayor says that together with the police and the Public Prosecution Service, she thinks about “a targeted approach to these wheel turners”. “We cannot and must not tolerate this behavior.”
