Dutch leader condemns violence by ‘idiots’ after rioting
The Dutch caretaker prime minister Mark Rutte has condemned rioters in Rotterdam and other towns and cities across the Netherlands over the weekend as “idiots” and said police and prosecutors would bring them to justice.
Mr Rutte’s comments came after coronavirus protests in the Netherlands and Brussels descended into violence amid simmering anger at lockdown measures being put in place in an attempt to curb soaring rates of infection.
