Rioters clash at right-wing demonstration in the Netherlands ahead of general election
- Violence erupted at a right-wing demonstration in the Netherlands, weeks before a general election.
- Rioters clashed with police, who deployed tear gas and a water cannon, and also torched a police car.
- The office of the centrist D66 political party was attacked, prompting its leader, Rob Jetten, to condemn the actions.
- The demonstration, attended by hundreds, called for tougher asylum policies, a key issue ahead of the 29 October election.
- Anti-Islam legislator Geert Wilders, whose party's withdrawal from the ruling coalition triggered the election, condemned the rioters as "idiots" and "scum".
