[1] On 6 August 1976, several Dutch youths planned, and later attacked Turkish bars and residents in the neighbourhood,[2] smashing their windows.
[10] The workers argued that because of the events and the exodus of Turks from the neighbourhood, the city's economy had deteriorated, leaving immigrants in a more difficult position.
[11] In August 1986 another attack on Turkish property was registered;[12] three Dutchmen were arrested, and they were led by a participant of the 1976 Schiedam riots.
[13] The Dutch parliament believed that NVU played a role in the riots, because the party often published pamphlets related to the clashes.
[14] The Dutch MP Hans Molleman asked Dries Van Agt to ban the NVU twice; in 1976 and 1977.
