Dutch parliament calls on government to designate Antifa as terrorist organization

The Dutch parliament has adopted a motion calling on the government to designate Antifa as a major terrorist organization. This decision was made during a parliamentary session held on September 19, 2025.

The motion reflects growing concerns regarding the activities associated with Antifa. Supporters of the motion argue that the group poses a significant threat to public safety and order. The classification as a terrorist organization would enable the government to take more stringent actions against individuals and groups affiliated with Antifa.

This move aligns with similar developments in other countries, including Canada, where there have been calls to designate Antifa as a terrorist organization as well. For more information on related coverage, see recent developments in Canada.
