Environmentalists have once again blocked a motorway in The Hague. Climate activists are demanding that the Netherlands remove all government subsidies for fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas.
Dutch police removed the stuck activists from the street on Saturday and said they arrested around a thousand people. The incumbent climate minister Rob Jetten wants to make proposals for the future government to reduce subsidies in about a week. He asked the activists for “a few days of patience” The city said the highway would be cleaned and then reopened to traffic.
