Timeline
Several hundred far-right demonstrators gather in central The Hague under the banner "We Are the People." Some display extremist symbols and slogans.
The protest turns violent, and Dutch riot police disperse the crowd.
Reactions
The first accounts of the protest — from Bloomberg, The Independent and Political Wire — describe the police action itself without comment from Dutch officials or from the organizers of the demonstration.
What's Next
The initial reports do not include a police tally of arrests or injuries, and those figures are the next thing likely to come out of The Hague.
