阿姆斯特丹周六举办年度骄傲船队游行,数十万民众聚集在运河沿岸观看这一世界骄傲节的标志性活动[1]。本次游行共有80艘装饰精美的船只参与[1],荷兰公开同性恋总理Rob Jetten穿着白衬衫、黑色救生衣和金项链出席了活动[1]。
游行期间部署了加强安保措施[1]。阿姆斯特丹市长Femke Halsema表示将采取必要措施保障安全[1],警察摩托艇进行巡逻,直升机也在进行监控[1]。这些安全措施的加强恰逢一周前柏林骄傲活动遭受致命袭击事件之后[1]。那起事件中,嫌疑人Abdul Ballout用面包车冲撞人群并用砍刀刺伤他人,造成1人死亡、29人受伤,随后被警察击毙[1]。游行前一天,阿姆斯特丹法院判处一男子因在骄傲活动期间使用歧视性语言而进行40小时社区服务[1]。荷兰LGBTQ+权利组织COC也在此期间庆祝其建立80周年[1]。
Hundreds of thousands of people lined Amsterdam's canals on Saturday to watch the annual Pride boat parade, a centerpiece event of World Pride festivities.[1] The procession featured 80 elaborately decorated boats sailing through the waterways.[1]
The celebration took on heightened security measures following a deadly attack in Berlin just one week prior.[1] That incident left one person dead and 29 wounded when suspect Abdul Ballout drove a van into a crowd and attacked bystanders with a knife before being shot by police.[1] Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema stated that necessary steps would be taken to ensure safety during the parade, with police motorboats patrolling the canals and helicopter surveillance in place.[1]
Among the participants was Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten, an openly gay official, who attended the parade wearing a white shirt, black life jacket, and gold chain.[1] The event also marked the 80th anniversary celebration of COC, a Dutch LGBTQ+ rights organization.[1] In a related development, an Amsterdam court handed down a sentence of 40 community service hours to a man convicted of using discriminatory language during Pride activities, a verdict delivered the day before the parade.[1]
