Amsterdam Unites in Solidarity | Amsterdam News
Description
Thousands gathered in Amsterdam Tuesday night to honor victims of a deadly Berlin Pride attack, where a car slammed into a crowd, killing one and injuring 29. The somber vigil began with a moment of silence at the Homomonument, as attendees laid flowers and stood united. Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema called for resilience and hope, urging the community to amplify positivity as they face adversity. The gathering coincided with Amsterdam’s own Pride festivities, kicking off Saturday with a canal parade on August 1. Solidarity spread across the Netherlands, with vigils also held in Arnhem and planned for Utrecht. In Berlin, German authorities confirmed the suspect—a 21-year-old with a history of violent threats and prior ISIS-related attempts—was killed Sunday.
