This made me wonder just how many "Trump Supporters" there ARE in Europe. Although some of this is right wing influence -- rioting against govt over-reach on covid restrictions is NOT unique to political philosophy.
They're FIRING at people. They are issuing "travel cards". And there's a story I can't publish here because it just happened. In Italy, a barracks building in Rome for the "state military police" which enforces all public edicts -- just SUSPICIOUSLY went up in flames just a DAY BEFORE their vaccine mandate became permanent.
Things are hot in the Olde World. You can pat yourselves on the back for being more "reserved"..
Violent protests have broken out against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and lockdowns across Europe amid new tough rules to curb winter waves of the virus.
Demonstrators angry about the new measures gathered in Austria, Croatia, Italy, Northern Ireland, the French territory of Guadeloupe and the Netherlands to protest the moves.
In the Netherlands, a second night of riots broke out Saturday over a partial lockdown, one day after police opened fire on people protesting the rules in Rotterdam.
Protesters hurled fireworks at police and set fire to bicycles in The Hague, as cops used horses, dogs and batons to chase the crowds away, the BBC reported.
Tens of thousands of people, including far-right groups, also joined protests in Austria on Saturday after the government announced a new national lockdown and plans to make the vaccine a requirement in February 2022.
Protesters chanted, “Resistance!” and blew whistles in the massive Heldenplatz square ahead of the lockdown, which will start Monday and last 10 days but could go up to 20.
People will be able to leave their homes only for reasons such as buying groceries, going to the doctor or exercising.
On Saturday night, the demonstrators threw bottles and beer cans and fired pyrotechnics at police, who then used pepper spray to disperse the crowds.
Police said several protesters were detained, though didn’t provide specific numbers.
Meanwhile, in Croatia, thousands of people gathered to carry flags and nationalist and religious symbols to protest mandatory vaccinations for public-sector workers.
In Switzerland, 2,000 people gathered to oppose an upcoming referendum on whether to approve the government’s COVID-19 restrictions law, claiming it was discriminatory, public broadcaster SRF reported
