CLAIM: Ex-president Duterte’s arrest sparked the largest rally in the Netherlands.

RATING: FALSE

A video has circulated on TikTok, falsely claiming that ex-president Rodrigo Duterte’s arrest has sparked the largest rally in the Netherlands.

The clip shows a crowd allegedly gathered at The Hague during Vice President Sara Duterte’s meet-and-greet with Duterte supporters, held two days before the video was posted.

A speaker at the rally declared: “In the hundreds of rallies that I have done, we have never ever had a rally as large as this.”

The original footage however was not from a pro-Duterte protest. 

It was from an anti-oligarchy rally in Denver, Colorado led by United States congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders, which gathered more than 34,000 supporters.

Sanders was the speaker in the footage.
