Prime Minister Jetten escorted away by security at D66 congress
D66 politician Rob Jetten was escorted off stage by security during a party congress in Amsterdam after pro-Palestine protesters disrupted his speech. The demonstrators, who also gathered outside the venue with signs supporting Hamas, were eventually removed from the building, allowing the event to continue.
Dutch politician Rob Jetten was briefly removed from the stage by security during a D66 party anniversary congress held at the Amsterdam Rai. As Jetten began his speech to celebrate the party's 60th anniversary, pro-Palestine protesters interrupted the proceedings by triggering an alarm and chanting slogans accusing the party of complicity in violence. Outside the venue, masked individuals displayed a banner expressing support for Hamas.
Security personnel acted quickly to remove the demonstrators from the hall, while Jetten was escorted off the stage for his safety. After a brief disruption, order was restored, and the politician was able to return to the podium to complete his address. The incident reflects ongoing political tensions surrounding international conflicts, as demonstrators specifically targeted the D66 gathering to voice their opposition to the party's stance. No further disturbances were reported following the removal of the protesters from the building.
