It's messed up! In France, Germany, and Australia, protests against the epidemic broke out, buildings were burned, police officers were shot, and the streets were crowded with people
Recently, South Africa’s mutated strain of the new crown "Omi Keron" has arrived in Europe, adding to the situation in Europe, which is experiencing the fifth round of the epidemic.
The European Health Commission has increased the risk of spreading new mutant strains in Europe from "high" to "extremely high."
Experts from various countries said that the existing vaccines are still unable to deal with the new strain of Omi Keron. In this case, WHO recommends that countries strengthen the surveillance, reporting and research of the new coronavirus, and take effective public health measures to block the spread of the virus, and said Preventing the spread of the virus is always the key, and the new crown vaccine is still effective in reducing severe illness and death.
However, people in some Western countries questioned the authority measures and even protested.
French protests escalated into riots
According to foreign media reports, in order to curb the new crown epidemic, France launched a "health pass" and forced medical staff to receive the new crown vaccine.
The French government has recently promoted the new crown epidemic prevention measures in Guadeloupe and Martinique, two overseas territories in the Caribbean. However, this has caused strong public dissatisfaction. Recently, a strike has been held to protest against the French government's strict epidemic prevention measures and demanded an end to the epidemic. Compulsory vaccination of health workers and calls for higher wages and other social dissatisfaction demands.
There are about 400,000 people in Guadeloupe. Violent protests broke out after announcing that all medical staff must be injected with the coronavirus.
Even the protests gradually escalated into riots: demonstrators burned government buildings, smashed and looted them, charged high tolls to the islanders, set up roadblocks to prevent patients or medical staff from going to the hospital, and shot the police.
Residents said, "Daily life is completely interrupted, as if you are in the Middle East." As the riots got out of control, four people were shot to death in Martinique and many businesses were destroyed.
In response to this, in addition to sending additional police forces, the French government also sent Leconu to the Caribbean to calm the situation. Leconu said, "Compared to overseas territories, some local parliamentarians have proposed the possibility of autonomy. If the actual problems of the local people's lives can be solved, consider giving local parliamentarians more freedom to make decisions." He also emphasized that autonomy is only to stop public protests.
Anti-epidemic demonstrations broke out in many places in Germany
In addition to France, large-scale protests broke out in Chemnitz, Zwanitz, Freiberg, Bautzen and other cities in Saxony, Germany, to oppose the government's anti-epidemic measures.
Chemnitz police said that about 300 demonstrators staged a protest. According to the current epidemic prevention regulations of Saxony, no more than 10 people are allowed to gather.
There were more than 700 demonstrators in Freiberg and more than 350 demonstrators in Bautzen. In addition, there were also protests with a scale of 50 to 100 people in other cities in the state.
In the cities of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, a total of more than 1,400 people participated in demonstrations. The state’s spokesperson recently announced that protest marches took place in Rostock, Greifswald and Neubrandenburg in the state on the evening of the 29th.
There were about 900 people participating in the demonstrations in Rostock, about 300 people in Greifswald, and about 250 people in Neubrandenburg.
As the epidemic situation in Germany continues to deteriorate, calls for more stringent epidemic prevention measures are also increasing. The governors of the federal states held consultations with Chancellor Merkel of the caretaker government and Schultz, the new candidate for prime minister.
Australia's anti-epidemic and anti-quarantine march
In addition, Australia has also entered the dilemma of the people's resistance to vaccines and isolation.
Some people even asked the government to lift the isolation of the two mutant strains of "Omi Keron" and "Delta", which they called "racial discrimination and segregation."
The most exaggerated is that some Australian netizens called on the Morrison government to release all the virus and make Australia's virus environment more diversified. This outrageous claim has actually been supported by many Australians, and some even claimed that they would rather contract these two viruses than be locked in a "cage" by the government.
Australian media recently reported that while opponents made such remarks, a wave of protests by the Australian public was still unfolding, which had lasted for about 20 days.
At the same time, the Australian government is also compulsively requiring Australians to be vaccinated, and even introduced more severe penalties in recent days. The Ministry of Health of the country stated that if employees in the required industry are not vaccinated, they will all lose their qualifications to work.
Australia's request for vaccinations has also aroused strong protests from Australians. Australian media reported that, especially in Melbourne, protests are being staged every day, and even protesters call the segregation policy and the anti-epidemic policy "apartheid" policy.
A large number of Australians dressed as aboriginals, marched in the streets, held up aboriginal flags, and chanted slogans against apartheid and racial discrimination.
In addition, demonstrations broke out in Italy, Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries. This can't help but raise questions. Why are Europeans still protesting when the epidemic rebounds and Omi Keron?
First of all, protest is a symbol of the "free" ideology advocated by the West. People will take to the streets when they have aspirations, no matter how big or small it is. However, the anti-epidemic measures have basically escalated into violent conflicts, so Europe will severely crack down on them.
In addition, the "vaccine conspiracy theory" is still rampant on the Internet. Although the European Union was determined to clean up cyber terrorism, it clearly has no effect. Among them, the anti-vaccine Facebook group played an intensifying role, saying that vaccines are used to poison people and so on.
Lastly, most people who do not trust the government are the middle class. The blockade measures for most of the year have led to a severe economic downturn, a large number of people are unemployed, and the repeated epidemics make people lose hope. A follow-up survey of the trust in the government by the European Union shows that between last spring and this spring, the trust of the people of Austria and Croatia in the government dropped sharply.
