(NL Times) Police officers responded to the RAI in Amsterdam in large numbers on Sunday evening to break up a brawl that had broken out at a polling station for the Turkish election. The unrest started when the polling station closed at 9:00 p.m. Calm returned sometime after midnight. No one was arrested.
A spokesperson for the RAI told AT5 that supporters of different political parties clashed around 9:00 p.m. “All week, there has been a tense atmosphere in the elections in the RAI. Tonight that escalated. Extra security was already present.”
According to the spokesperson, it was not voters who caused disturbances but supporters of political parties who attended the elections.
