Stop talking about shit you know nothing about. They were not arrested, neither were farmers who blocked way more roads. The Dutch state definitely took a side against the climate and left wing activists.

Demonstrating is allowed on public roads in the Netherlands, otherwise you could just protest on side walks. Next to this highway there was another road which emergency services could take.
The main reason for the blocking wasn't to block normal people, the road lies right in between the parliament and the ministry of economic affairs and climate.

Emergency vehicles could easily take a separate lane that was just a 20 meters over, they weren't blocked.
