In early September 2026, The Hague hosted Democracy Day at its city hall to educate the public on municipal council operations and local decision-making through interactive activities and political engagement.

Following this event, the city prepared for Prinsjesdag demonstrations. Mayor Jan van Zanen described The Hague as the country’s “demonstration capital,” noting that various groups, including Dieren in Nederland, Burgerinitiatief Groningen, the anti-monarchist group Republiek, and The Hague Peace Projects, had registered for protests. The municipality also monitored potential farmer involvement, stating that while demonstrations are permitted, participants must not use large machinery to block roads.
