This action, which was attended by children, was also aimed at protesting the so-called “corona passport.”
About 600 people protested this Saturday in Copenhagen against the restrictive measures imposed to contain the spread of the new coronavirus as well as the mandatory future “vaccine passport”.
Liderada pelos ‘Man in black Danemark’ [Homens de negro da Dinamarca], a very active group on the Facebook social network that has been organizing protest actions for over a month, protesters have gathered in front of parliament to defend “freedom of choice”, denounce “coercion” and “dictatorship” of anti -covid in Denmark.
In the icy cold that was felt, this action, which was attended by children, was also aimed at protesting the so-called “corona passport”.
Like other European countries, Denmark will develop an electronic vaccination certificate against covid-19 for travel and which can also be used for people to access sports, cultural events or even restaurants.
For organizers, the creation of this “passport” implies an obligation to vaccinate, which results in a restriction on individual freedoms. In Denmark, vaccination is recommended, but not mandatory.
Using smoke torches, the demonstrators, some of them hooded, marched through central Copenhagen shouting “We are fed up” or “Freedom for Denmark” and held up a portrait of Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, very similar to that of the North Korean dictator , Kim Jong-un.
Despite the radical tone of the protesters, the demonstration, which was authorized, went on without incident and was accompanied by the police.
Two weeks ago, a similar event was marked by the burning of a mannequin with the image of the head of the Government. At that time, two men were arrested and prosecuted for threats against Mette Frederiksen.
The Danish government extended the restriction measures until February 28, with stores, bars and non-essential restaurants closed. Primary schools will reopen next Monday.
