Activists break through gate of Amsterdam datacenter, riot police use pepper spray

A protest against the construction of a Microsoft data center in Amsterdam's Sloterdijk district has escalated, with demonstrators storming the site. Organized by the activist group Geef Tegengas, the protestors demand a halt to the project due to its high energy consumption. Reports indicate that some activists climbed over fences and cut holes in them, while police struggled to manage the situation as protesters appeared in various locations. The Mobile Unit used batons and pepper spray to keep some activists outside the premises. Some protesters also climbed scaffolding and a crane, displaying a banner against the data center and AI.
