03:48Dozens of protesters marched through the streets of The Hague and rallied in front of the Huis ten Bosch palace on Tuesday to protest the newly-elected anti-immigration right-wing government during their swear-in ceremony.
Footage shows protesters marching to the palace while carrying signs and banners reading 'Solidarity with undocumented immigrants', 'Expose the fascists' and 'Human rights are non-negotiable' among others. Police officials are also seen monitoring the demonstration and blocking protesters from entering the palace.
"Everywhere in the last 20 years we have seen that more countries have become less democratic instead of more democratic. So, democratic erosion is going on everywhere in the world and it's also going to happen here in the Netherlands with this ultra-right wing government that we're going to get from today on," a protest organiser said.
"So, it's an utter black page in Dutch history," she continued. "It's just the beginning and more will follow and we are deeply, deeply concerned and worried that our country will become a version like Hungary for example."
One protester, Ingelise de Jongste, believes that the new leaders will implement ideas that are against 'human rights’ and 'international agreements'.
"If we don't put a halt to this, put a stop to this and say until here and no further, we might go down a very slippery slope further than we already have and that will affect the human rights of many people," she claimed
The Dutch government will now be led by a coalition of Geert Wilders' anti-immigration Partij voor de Vrijheid (PVV), outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte's People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) party, the Farmer Citizen Movement and the New Social Contract party.
The conservative coalition's election success is part of a growing voting trend in Europe. During the European Union election, conservative, nationalist and anti-immigration groups also made significant gains. Many called for a focus on domestic priorities amid the soaring cost of living, as well as lower taxes, better border security and an end to foreign military interventions, such as in Ukraine.
PVV politician Marjolein Faber was also sworn in as the Minister of Asylum and Immigration on Tuesday. She has previously called for the abolition of the Islamic faith and described migration as 'repopulation' in her previous roles as a member of the Senate and the Tweede Kamer.
In the past, Faber was also criticised for circulating a post on social media claiming the suspect in a Groningen stabbing had a 'North African appearance'.
