Dutch riot police dispersed an unauthorized anti-immigration protest in The Hague on Saturday following reports of projectiles thrown at authorities. While The Guardian focuses on the tactical disruption of the march, Al Jazeera highlights specific government condemnation regarding the use of Hitler salutes and antisemitic slogans.
