Protest against Macron in Amsterdam: Protester was swept away
According to French channel BFMTV news, Macron attended a program at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, where he arrived for a two-day official visit.
At the entrance of the university, a person shouted: “We are here for the honor of the employees, even if Macron does not want it.”
The security forces present at the scene intervened on the person who was shouting the slogan and knocked him face down.
Macron continues his contacts with the Netherlands.
While the protester was intervened, Macron continued his conversation with Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema and Dutch King Willem-Alexander.
In the images reflected on social networks about the incident, it can be seen that the protester was running towards Macron from afar before being placed on the ground, and three people intervened and knocked him down on top of the one who was shouting the slogan.
The guards prevented the protester from running towards Macron.
Dutch media reported that there were two protesters, one of whom was a woman, at the scene and that they were later arrested.
Macron was protested yesterday at the Nexus Institute in The Hague, while speaking about green industry in Europe.
During the speech, the protesters, who were in the room and opened a banner with the inscription “the president of violence and hypocrisy”, interrupted Macron. (AA)
