Massive protests and outbreaks of civil disobedience are breaking out throughout Europe. Pro-government mainstream media, as did their spineless counterparts in totalitarian regimes like the Soviet Union, pretend there is public support for repression and censor all reports of public protest against lockdowns and forced vaccinations. Yet, when three punk rockers ~ just three anti-Christian anarchists desecrated the most holy Cathedral in Russia, these failed misfits were given headline sympathetic news coverage.

I Am Open: 50,000 Italian restaurant owners in Italy have opened up despite government lockdowns, police violence and fines, and media siding with the unpopular tottering Italian regime. The political, press and police power bloc fear the spread not of the Covid virus but of mass acts of civil disobedience.

Over 50,000 restaurants are planning to open from January 15, an act of mass civil disobedience against ‘anti-Covid’ lockdown measures which have massively hurt the restaurant business, especially small family-owned businesses.

Spreading through social media under the hashtag #IoOpro (‘I am opening’), the movement is largest country-wide act of civil disobedience since lockdowns began.

Italain opposition MP Vittorio Sgarbi has backed the movement, saying in an interview: Open up and don’t worry, in the end we will make them eat their fines’.

Italy’s government is already facing internal conflict and crisis, an early election is a possibility. A similar movement already started in Mexico on January 12, when hundreds of restaurant owners gathered to protest the lockdowns:

The ‘I am Open’ protest is spreading across Europe as well, with variants already taking hold in German-speaking Switzerland (#Wirmachenauf) and Poland (#OtwieraMY).

It’s good to be reminded that, no matter how much it looks like the new normal is spreading unopposed, it’s not. People all over the world are resisting where they can. That’s what ‘Covid Positive’ is all about.

To follow the progress of this movement we recommended following Robin Monotti and the It’s Time to Rise accounts on twitter and other platforms.
