University Staff And Students Protest Budget Cuts

THE HAGUE, NETHERLANDS - NOVEMBER 25: Member of the House of Representatives Sandra Beckerman (L) of the Socialist Party (SP), Labour Party (PVDA) leader Frans Timmermans (C) Democrats 66 (D66) leader Rob Jetten (R) hold a speech on a podium as thousands of university staff and students gather at Malieveld to protest against budget cuts on November 25, 2024 in The Hague, Netherlands. Progressive groups voiced their opposition to the governments proposed cuts, which include slashing 1 billion euros annually from higher education. The cuts come against the backdrop of comments from far-right Party for Freedom (PVV) party members arguing that young people, master's students, and university lecturers are being "indoctrinated" by what they describe as woke ideologies.
