For all you know-it-all nerds out there outside NL:

Yes we care about our climate

Yes you can demonstrate if approved.

In case it has been denied, you provoke and tell everyone to protest anyway, you're breaking the law and can therefore be arrested.

Why was it denied? Blocking a high road is stupid and dangerous.

You can protest full stop. There is no approval process, despite some local governments trying to turn the registration requirement into a de facto permit system.

The government may impose restrictions for a handful of reasons, but only ever the least possible to alleviate them.

This blockade may have been unlawful (that’s really up for a judge to decide if it comes to that) but you can’t turn protest law upside down like this.

It’s done all the time for road works, sporting events, etc. Traffic is rerouted. No one gets hurt.
