Dutch PM Joins Pride Parade with Rights Push | Amsterdam News

Published 1 day ago
Description

Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten made history by joining Amsterdam’s Pride canal parade — not just to celebrate, but to announce major new steps for LGBTQI+ rights. He unveiled the Regenboog Stembusakkoord, a coalition agreement between seven parties to strengthen protections, including hiring 40 new anti-discrimination police officers, reviving gender change legislation, and allocating €35 million for safety and enforcement. With 80 boats cruising through the canals and commemorating 25 years since the Netherlands legalized same-sex marriage, the event was both festive and politically charged — especially after Berlin’s recent security scare. This is just the halfway point of WorldPride, with concerts, a human rights conference, and even a mass wedding still ahead — all spotlighting celebration and progress for the LGBTQI+ community.
