Police compensates photographer pushed into water by officer at Malieveld

Omroep West25 September · 15:531 hour ago

The Dutch police confirmed they will compensate Spanish photographer Nacho Calonge for equipment damaged when an officer pushed him into water during riots at The Hague’s Malieveld on Saturday. A spokesperson stated the push was intended to create space for arrests, possibly without noticing the water behind the journalist, though they emphasized this does not justify the fall. Calonge was working during the unrest, and while specific costs remain private due to privacy concerns, the police verified contact regarding damage settlement earlier in the week.
