"Police made several arrests as anti-immigration protesters marched through Amsterdam on Sunday, voicing concerns over rising numbers of asylum seekers and declining living standards. Footage shows protesters marching under the banner 'Defend Netherlands' as they made their way to Museumplein. Demonstrators chanted and waved Dutch flags, with some carrying signs that read: 'No AZC (Asylum Seekers' Centres). A large-scale police presence accompanied the march, leading to several flashpoints and multiple arrests. "The Netherlands is going a bit down to a lot of immigration, and I don't want that because a lot of immigrations are coming here to destroy the Netherlands," said protester Jeremy. Another protester, Jaron, called for limits on asylum approvals and warned that rising migration across Europe is driving up crime and threatening public safety. "With this net immigration, you see that in the larger Dutch cities, Dutch people are becoming a minority, and I believe in the right for people to have their own state, and of course, we could have some asylum seekers, it's just way too much," he said. "This is not only a problem in the Netherlands, […] this is part of a greater movement of Europeans who say, No, this is our country, this is our civilisation, and we are willing to fight for our country. We are willing to fight for our people, and we want to keep Dutch women safe, keep Dutch children safe," he added. Authorities relocated the anti-asylum protest from Dam Square to Museumplein earlier this week due to concerns about a large turnout. Protests against asylum shelters have escalated nationwide, particularly since right-wing riots erupted in The Hague on 20 September. This comes just weeks ahead of the national elections, highlighting the volatile debate over migration in the Netherlands."
