Emergency Regulation at Schiphol Due to Extinction Rebellion and Greenpeace Protests
An emergency regulation has been enacted at Schiphol Airport following planned demonstrations by Extinction Rebellion (XR) and Greenpeace, set to occur tomorrow afternoon. The municipality of Haarlemmermeer prohibits activities within two meters of locks and fences, citing potential high-risk actions by protestors. Activists aim to challenge pollution from the aviation sector and call for the cessation of KLM’s Flying Blue program. Previous protests at the airport led to numerous arrests, prompting local authorities to deem this regulation necessary for public safety.
