XR activists blocked a major motorway in The Hague to protest Dutch fossil fuel subsidies.

Extinction Rebellion (XR) activists blocked a major motorway in The Hague to protest Dutch fossil fuel subsidies, amounting to €39.7-46.4 billion annually. The protest coincided with a police strike over pensions, limiting law enforcement intervention. XR plans to camp overnight in the tunnels and vows to continue protests until the subsidies are abolished. Dutch authorities may close sections of the motorway to ensure safety during the actions.
