Hundreds of people went to a demonstration of 'Gele Hesjes' in Maastricht on Saturday. They walk from the MVV stadium to Plein 92 in a parade of about 6 kilometers.

People from all parts of the Netherlands, including from Germany and Belgium, participate in the demonstration. There is a lot of police on the leg.

The Dutch 'Gele Hesjes' turn against Prime Minister Mark Rutte and want the Netherlands to leave the European Union, just like the United Kingdom. There are also many anti-EU banners on display.

Previously, the organization said that it still counts on two thousand participants, but that number does not seem to be achieved. It may be because of the rainy weather.

The 'Gele Hesjes' chose Maastricht because in 1992 the European Monetary Union was forged by signing the Maastricht Treaty. In the Limburg city there have been demonstrations of the 'Yellow Hesjes' before.
