  • Demonstrators walk along the Koningskade with flags, banners and posters expressing their opinion during the large climate demonstration. 45,000 demonstrators gathered on the Malieveld and later marched demanding that the Dutch government improve its policy on climate change, just three days before the Dutch general election.
