Enormous gatherings, almost unprecedented in Denmark’s political history of black-clad protesters have taken to the streets, launching fireworks, torching an effigy of Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, and clashing with state police.

Hundreds of black-uniformed campaigners clashed with police on the streets of Copenhagen on Saturday night, January 24, releasing incendiary fireworks at the hated police officers and getting batons across their skulls in return.

Mainstream media keeps mainly quiet about the disturbances breaking out not just in Denmark but across Globalised Western. Europe. In Denmark and elsewhere violent demonstrations have become weekly occurrences, where lockdown measures were extended at the beginning of the year and where the unrepresentative uncaring regime recently clamped down further on the size of gatherings permitted.

The group, calling themselves the ‘Men in Black’, torched an effigy of Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. By the end of the night, at least five people were arrested, Copenhagen police said on Twitter.

Earlier in the evening, news agency Ruptly filmed great ranks of protesters marching behind a banner reading ’Black Clad Resistance.’ Carrying flaming torches, the protesters set off flares, with some demonstrators cracking open cans of beer, evidently treating the march as a party.

However, any festive mood was soon broken when clashes broke out. Armoured riot police (acting on orders) could be seen chasing and tackling some protesters to the ground as sirens echoed overhead. Similar scenes were reported two weeks ago, when police arrested nine protesters in Copenhagen, after being pelted with fireworks and empty bottles. 

Amid the lockdown and protests, Denmark is pressing ahead with a program of mass vaccination. As of last week, around 2.5 percent of the country’s 5.8 million residents have been vaccinated. Cases in Denmark have declined steadily from their alleged mid-December high of around 4,000 per day, though deaths based on fake statistics have continued to track upwards. As the vaccination program continues, the Danish Health Ministry threatened plans to roll out a digital ‘vaccine passport’ early this year. Source
