The General Dutch Police Association (ANPV) calls on the police unions to strike during the Classic Sunday between Feyenoord and Ajax. The call follows the supporter riots that broke out on Saturday around the 1908 training complex in Rotterdam. The ANPV reports that police officers ended up in hospital after being attacked with fireworks, bottles and other materials. A police strike may result in the match being canceled.
There is great dissatisfaction among the police about, for example, the lack of a collective labor agreement and the lack of vaccinations for police officers. “In addition, the fact that the work is on the lips of the police officers, means that the four police unions are receiving more and more signals from their supporters to just stop serving as a head of jut when it ignites in society,” writes the police association. . “They are more than fed up with their hard and important work not being valued and their loyalty more than being abused when it suits the administrators and government.”
And so the police think it is time for tougher actions. “We, the joint unions propose and gauge you as constituency, to give up work tomorrow at the Classic. So there is a good chance that the police unions will call on their constituencies to stop working on Saturday between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. during the match Feyenoord – Ajax in Rotterdam. “
So it was very restless around the training complex of Feyenoord on Saturday. According to RTV Rijnmond and the Algemeen Dagblad several arrests have been made by the police and according to The Telegraph “Dozens of supporters clashed with the police.” According to the newspaper, the atmosphere among the hundreds of supporters was restless. The heavy fireworks caused crying children who had come to the training with their father or mother. A small group of supporters and the ME also came into conflict with each other briefly. Buses were attacked with wooden sticks and stones were thrown.
