Het scenario

Wat er gebeurt

Tension is mounting in a neighbourhood. An incident has sparked unrest, and groups of people are gathering in the streets. The following evening, riots break out, with vandalism and clashes. Residents feel unsafe and do not know what is going on. Meanwhile, rumours are circulating online, further fuelling the situation. Some of them are untrue, but are being shared widely. The local council must quickly provide a clear explanation, reassure residents and show what is being done to restore calm.
