Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – A number of large-scale demonstrations took place in Europe. A number of countries in the Blue Continent such as the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Austria, to Italy have to deal with protesters.
This demo is not without reason. The protesters did not accept the plans of the governments of these countries to impose restrictions until the lockdown (lockdown) total or partial due to the surge in Covid-19 cases.
In Belgium, tens of thousands of people marched in Brussels against the anti-Covid-19 measures. Some threw fireworks at the officers who responded with tear gas and water cannons.
The Waffle State Government itself has begun to apply the Covid-19 card for residents to enter public places. This is the government’s way of pressuring anti-vaccine citizens to want to be inoculated.
The same thing happened in the Netherlands. Even vandalism is still happening in a number of cities against the lockdown Partial. In that action, at least 64 people were arrested.
Protests also took place in the Austrian capital Vienna, after lockdown the latest is applied in total over the next 20 days. The government also requires injections of the Covid-19 vaccine in February 2022.
In Croatia thousands of citizens also marched in Zagreb showing anger at the mandatory vaccination of public sector workers. Meanwhile in Italy some residents demonstrated at Rome’s Circus Maximus against the ‘vaccine passport’ to work and take public transport.
Quoting the data bank Reuters, On average, European countries experienced a significant increase in cases. Even countries like the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Denmark, Norway and Hungary are at peak infections.
Meanwhile, in detail, the case curve per European country has shown a significant jump in data when compared to the beginning of last October. The Netherlands is currently at the level of 20 thousand cases per day, far from at the beginning of last October which recorded only 1,800 to 2,000 cases per day.
“This is a jump of more than 11 times,” the media wrote.
In Germany, a similar increase occurred with the Rhine River country still at around 45,000 daily infections, well above the 7,000 level in early October. Belgium also reported a nine-fold increase from 2,000 infections to the current level of 18,000.
The World Health Organization (WHO) admits that this spike was due to the euphoria of lifting the lockdown that was deemed too premature. This is compounded by the large number of groups who do not want to receive the vaccine.
“This is another reminder, as we have said many times, that vaccines do not replace the need for other preventive measures”, said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus last week.
“The vaccine reduces the risk of hospitalization, severe illness and death, but does not completely prevent transmission.”
