An explosion occurred at the headquarters of the Dutch Prime Minister's party 0 11

An explosion occurred at the headquarters of the political party D66, led by Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten, on Thursday, May 7, NOS reports.

"Around 9:00 PM (local time) an explosion occurred at the D66 office in The Hague. An hour later, the police reported the arrest of a suspect."

It is noted that the police arrested a suspect just an hour later. It turned out that the man threw a firecracker or homemade firework into the mail slot located in the office door.

At the time of the explosion, about 30 people were in the office, where a youth wing event of the party was taking place. No one was injured, but those present were very frightened. The glass in the building was shattered and smoke appeared.

At the time of the attack, about 30 people were inside, and the event of young democrats was taking place, reported the chairwoman of the party's youth wing. "We were in shock, and I am glad that everyone is okay. It was an incredibly loud explosion."

"I am also furious," said the chairwoman of the youth party. "There are young people who want to contribute to society, and we are facing increasingly brutal violence. Democratic rule of law works only if political participation is safe. Everyone should be able to express themselves safely. This violence affects democracy as a whole."

The leader of D66 and Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten believes that the incident was a "cowardly act of intimidation."

Although no one was injured, the explosion at the party office caused serious concern in the Netherlands. Authorities believe that such actions are an attempt to intimidate politicians and people who participate in the country's public life, writes bb.lv.
