Sigrid Kaag, leader of political party D66, was faced with several dozen protestors carrying flames and sirens when she arrived at a political talk show in Diepenheim.
Kaag was campaigning in the eastern part of the Netherlands for the upcoming Provincial Council elections when she arrived in Diepenheim, Overijssel, RTL Nieuws reports.
A toasty treat
Previously, the demonstrators, AKA “Strijders Twente”, distributed leaflets urging Diepenheim residents to give a “warm welcome” to the Dutch politician.
Upon arrival, Kaag was met by a group of people with tractors who shouted at her: “You are not for the Netherlands!”
Despite the sirens going off, Kaag spoke with the protesters for a while, although it was difficult, as reported by her campaign manager and MP, Hanneke van der Werf.

After about ten minutes, the meeting between the demonstrators and Kaag ended. When she left at around 8 PM, the protesters were no longer present.
Not the first time
Kaag has been threatened multiple times, including an incident last year where Max van den B., was convicted on appeal for threatening her at her home.
Kaag has been under security for some time due to serious threats. The party would not modify its election campaign due to the Sunday event.
