THE HAGUE, Dec. 8 (Xinhua) -- Like elsewhere in Europe Yellow Vests protesters took to the streets on Saturday in the Netherlands, but contrary to, for instance, in France, the demonstrations went quietly.

In The Hague, police blocked demonstrators from entering the Binnenhof, the seat of the parliament. About a hundred people had made an attempt, but were stopped. The Yellow Vests were allowed to protest at the Plein square next to the Binnenhof.

Approximately 150 people, mainly elderly, gathered in Rotterdam at the foot of the Erasmus Bridge. They argued that the gap between rich and poor is increasing in the country and shouted that "it must be fairer".

In Amsterdam around 200 people walked around the town hall in Yellow Vests. After the demonstration at the Amsterdam city hall, part of the demonstrating group went on to the Dam square, through the busy Kalverstraat. They shouted slogans against the Dutch government. The police were present, but did not have to intervene.

Protests also occurred in other cities Maastricht, Eindhoven, Alkmaar, Nijmegen, Ensched and Groningen, but the interest was small with not more than a hundred demonstrators.
