In ‘s-Heerenberg, Netherlands, council members of Montferland faced a dangerous protest before a meeting discussing the establishment of an asylum center. Fireworks were thrown at at least three council members, including Boris van Oosterom, who reported injuries from the incident. Mayor Harry de Vries announced an increase in police presence to manage the hostile demonstrators, who oppose plans for approximately 250 asylum seekers to be housed in Didam, preferring to see a swimming pool built instead.
