Thousands of people gathered in Amsterdam to protest against racism and the policies of far-right political groups, particularly targeting the Dutch far-right party Forum for Democracy (FvD). The demonstration was spurred by recent events where FvD leader Thierry Baudet made controversial statements, including a video where he was seen with a group chanting a slogan associated with white supremacists. Protesters marched through the city, expressing their opposition to racism, discrimination, and the rise of far-right ideologies in Dutch politics. The rally also highlighted broader concerns about the normalization of hate speech and the need for societal inclusivity and equality.
