The Dutch flag seems to be increasingly becoming a symbol of the radical right: in football stadiums, during demonstrations, and on the streets. The municipality of Uithoorn, where protests against an asylum seekers' center are taking place Tuesday evening, has been removing all Dutch flags displayed in prohibited locations since this weekend.
