A demonstration by Defend Netherlands has caused unrest in Utrecht. The activist group was in the city to commemorate a French student who died earlier this month in a left-wing extremist attack. Counter-demonstrators disrupted the commemoration.
On Utrecht's Voorstraat, two groups of demonstrators faced off. The far-right activist group Defend Netherlands was supposed to commemorate French activist Quentin Deranque at the building of the left-wing political-cultural center ACU.
