Extinction Rebellion Protests ING Sponsorship at Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum
Extinction Rebellion (XR) staged a sit-in at the Rijksmuseum’s Eregalerij, protesting against the museum’s sponsorship by ING, the largest fossil fuel financer in the Netherlands. This marks XR’s third protest at the museum, with previous actions leading to arrests and vandalism. During the recent demonstration, activists remained peaceful while expressing their dissent through T-shirts and chaining themselves to a bench. The museum is preparing for further protests, including one during the upcoming Museumnacht, prompting concerns about security during the event.
