The “anti-COVID” actions, which began in Canada, spread to Europe – “convoys of freedom” drove to the capital of the European Union, directly to Brussels. Protesters are demanding the removal of all restrictions imposed through COVID-19, not least freedom of movement and the restoration of a full life, and therefore tourism.
According to DW, the “freedom convoy” protesters reached Brussels, but police blocked vehicles from entering the city and redirected cars to a parking lot on the outskirts. According to the mayor of Brussels, Philip Close, a total of 400-500 cars and vans were spotted on the way to Brussels. He also added that the protest was “exported” and most of the cars came from France.
“We do not want to allow the Belgian capital to be taken hostage,” the mayor added. However, the protesters reached Brussels, albeit on foot. Between 150 and 200 protesters managed to enter the city center, world news agencies add. According to some of the “entrance” protesters, some Philip, not a stranger to tourism, he participates in protests “for the sake of their children.” “I came especially for the future of our children. I do not understand how my children can live in the world today. Freedom of movement is rejected, and behind it – all human freedoms, we have nothing to earn – and poverty is growing. We have nothing to live on, – he declared.
In general, around the world since the advent of the Freedom Convoys, which were shot down by Canadian truckers, governments have begun to massively lift restrictions, and the process is avalanche-like. Read the details, for example, in the article “Germany has announced the lifting of all restrictions” or “Vietnam is preparing for the full opening of tourists: the date has been announced.” In addition to Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, the process has spilled over even into previously peaceful Australia, where an antiquity revolution has actually erupted.
