Well, I'm sad to report that there isn't much to tell you actually.

I was all set to go to Harderwijk, I was actually on my way to the station to catch the train.
but then I got a phone call from a friend of mine informing me that the counter-demonstration was cancelled. So I decided not to go, fearing for my health if I did go of course.

The Antifa (anti-facisist movement) stated that they didn't want to protest, because in previous demonstrations the felt that the police came down to hard on them. This is true, I've seen this on the news and such.

Anyway, only 40 NVU(nazi, facists) showed up and nothing much happened.
They were in Harderwijk to protest against extreem-left, demanding that extreem-left organisations should be banned. (HArderwijk is also the the place the assasin of Fortuyn used to live, which was a left-extremist)

But the NVU's claim is rediculous, this organisation has has a history of violence.
But you can find enough information on all of this on the Antifa's website.
