Extinction Rebellion pauses daily A12 highway blockades; Hague mayor relieved
Extinction Rebellion (XR) is suspending the blockades on the Utrechtsebaan (A12) in The Hague. The group of activists will await a vote in parliament on Tuesday on a motion in which Suzanne Kroger (GroenLInks) and Raoul Boucke (D66) asked for a phase-out plan for fossil fuel subsidies. The Hague mayor, Jan van Zanen, called it a relief. If XR indeed suspends its daily blockades, it is “good news for the many police officers who have been working since September 9 and all times before that to clear and prevent blockages,” Van Zanen said.
