The Marches on Broekszaal were a series of protest marches in New Batavia towards the city of Broekszaal.
The first march was held on 2021-05-16, it was organized by the Green Committee (Het Groen Komiteit), which united descendants of former IIR citizens still living in the Green. They demanded a westward expansion of New Batavia and citizenship rights.
The second march was held on 2021-05-23. The South Corum Independence Party joined the Green Committee. This party represented settlers, mainly in the governorates of Dar Al-Hoeriya and Al-Ard Al-Moestasliha, where a lot of mixed families live and where English is the majority language, as opposed to Dutch. The protester now also demanded language rights, next to expansion into the Green.
