Hundreds gathered in Utrecht's Domplein to commemorate the Pride attack in Berlin, where a man drove into a crowd of Pride attendees, killing one and injuring 31. Utrecht Mayor Sharon Dijksma emphasized the queer community’s resilience and courage in the face of intimidation, calling for solidarity and a firm rejection of hate and ignorance. Authorities are investigating the incident as an Islamist terror attack. During the memorial, she urged citizens to stand up against injustice and defend others. Attendees laid flowers at the Sodomonument, a local memorial symbolizing historical persecution of homosexuals. The event aimed to express solidarity with the Berlin community and affirm that love prevails over hate, mirroring similar tributes held during World Pride in Amsterdam.
