EUROPE IN CRISIS: Italian police clash with anti-lockdown protesters as violent street battles rage in Austria and Netherlands

Thousands of demonstrators gathered in Milan and Rome to protest against the Green pass certificates, the vaccine passports required at the country's restaurants, cinemas, theaters, stadiums, clubs, or gyms.

About four thousand unmasked protesters were seen at the Circus Maximus in Rome, chanting "Freedom" and "No Green pass," while anti-vaxxers clashed with police at Piazza Duomo in Milan the Corriere reported.

Italian cops said that about sixty demonstrators were identified while added there were clashes during arrests, including a woman who bit a police officer.

It comes as the government is currently reviewing stricter measures for the unvaccinated as well as a push on the third dose amid Italy's high infection rates.

There were 11,555 Covid-19 recorded on Saturday, the country's worst figures since May, according to ANSA.

A number of protests against Covid-19 restrictions also took place in Switzerland, Croatia, Italy, and Northern Ireland on Saturday.

Meanwhile, anti-lockdown protesters in Vienna gathered to protest after the far-right opposition Freedom Party called for demonstrations and vowed to fight new Covid restrictions.

Protesters chanted "no to vaccination", "enough is enough" and "down with the fascist dictatorship" and waved Austrian flags as they stream into Heroes' Square.


It didn't take long for the crowd - which swelled to about 35,000 people by mid-afternoon - to clash with police.

They said there had been 10 arrests for breaches of coronavirus restrictions and a ban on Nazi symbols.

It comes a day after Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg announced Austria would be plunged into a lockdown from Monday after Covid cases spiked to 1959.88 per 100,000 in the past fortnight.

Hours earlier, seven people were injured when Dutch police opened fire on anti-lockdown rioters who were setting streets ablaze.

Cops said they fired both "warning shots" and directly at protesters who were demonstrating against new lockdown measures in Rotterdam on Friday.


Anti-riot police also fired water cannon to disperse the violent crowd of protesters who began lighting fires and setting off fireworks in one of the port city's main shopping districts.

The demonstrations comes a week after the Netherlands re-imposed a partial lockdown to curb surging Covid cases in the country.

Videos on social media appear to show a person being shot in Rotterdam.

One eyewitness - a press photographer - told De Telegraaf they saw shell casings "everywhere on the floor".

Police spokesperson Patricia Wessels said: "We fired warning shots and there were also direct shots fired because the situation was life-threatening.

"We know that at least two people were wounded, probably as a result of the warning shots, but we need to investigate the exact causes further."

The NL Times reported that a journalist was attacked on the street and local broadcaster Rijnmond said the reporter was beaten and his camera destroyed.

Protesters eventually dispersed leaving smouldering police cars and dozens of smashed bicycles in their wake, the AFP reports.

Photos in Dutch media showed at least one police car ablaze and another with a bicycle smashed through the windshield.

Several hundred people had gathered to voice opposition to government plans to restrict access to indoor venues to people who have a "corona pass", showing they have been vaccinated or already recovered from an infection.

Police issued an emergency ordinance in Rotterdam, shutting down public transportation and ordering people to go home.

Water cannon were deployed and police on horseback carried out charges to disperse the crowds, police said.

What's the purpose of forcefully vaccinating people against an infection they might still contract despite being vaccinated. I think there's more to this mandatory vaccinations. Maybe money realized from the sale of vaccines. Why forcing people to get vaccinated when some of those that have been vaccinated are already dead or are infected with Covid 19.

With Events playing out Worldwide, Except one is Spiritually and Physically blind, it is clear to all that Covid is the Red Carpet to the Beast System (New World Order, One world government, Currency, religion and all that).

Protest, rioting, uprising are becoming a daily occurrence in our world. People in Just about every nation are Protesting and Demanding their governments do things better.

A Man I believe who is alive and well today, will soon come on the World scene, seeming to have all the answers. He will bring a false Peace to the Nations of the world. 3 and half yrs after he comes on the World scene, his true intentions will become known.

He will bring war, the likes the Earth has never seen. And with War, will come Famine, Pestilences and Death. The Holy Bible refers to him as the "Man of Lawlessness aka the antichrist, and he will be welcomed by millions of those on earth not taken in the Rapture.

Unfortunately, his true identity will be known to those left behind that his true intentions are Death, Destruction and Control.

The Signs of JESUS soon return are so Strong now and the Evidence is clear, that any person who does not Deceive himself/herself can see that the End of the World is at Near.

If you Like laugh! If you like Scoff! If you Like argue! The Choice is in your hands to surrender to JESUS Christ, Live according to HIS command and be Prepared for HIS Coming or to live anyhow and be left behind to face Hell on Earth..

Europe is not in any crises

You know you're in crises when you'll have to clash with Boko Haram, bandits, armed Fulani herdsmen, iswap, brutal police, uncultured Armed Forces

Face economic crises, shortage of foods, bad governance, corrupt political elites, inflation

Killing of youths by security agents, poor economic policies and mass exodus of intellects and skilled workforce and professionals in different field

No serious developmental strategies and the ones politicised about are not met, yet no urgency in addressing those issues

Lol. By now everyone knows you are a joke. This clown that saw a news about the annual migration of crabs in the Christmas Island and began to lose his mind about the end of time wants to make us think this is another "sign".

We have been saying it here that religion is bad for your health and this guy comes along to prove us right. And he has managed to make a mockery of Christianity more than we could ever hope to do.

Typical Lord's Chosen member. No finesse or savvy. Just crude methods all the time.

I see righteousness and his alternate spewing end of the world

I see him deactivating his account when ten years from now we are still on this planet slowly turning round the sun

I would pay for righteousness to take a class in world history to know they are few things new under the sun

Mass action, direct action ,mass sentiments and the general feeling of despondency against these cliques of leaders, who sat together and encrusted the freedom of people only gives ammunition to, and helps perpetuate the notion that sovereignty rests with the people. These mass sentiments will get worse and ultimately throw off the balance of power in many parts of the West.
