In Zwolle, young squatters sang from the windows of a monument against being evicted, while police parked three service vehicles nearby. In a separate protest at the town hall, dozens of children called for the preservation of the city’s vegetable gardens, which the city wants to remove.

The status of the proposed clearances remains unclear. The children received applause in the council chamber, but it was not reported whether the gardens or the occupied monument would be cleared.
