‘It has nothing to do with Covid or health concerns,’ says Michael Walsh, author and dissident journalist.. ‘The European Union has clearly become a repressive regime. Politicians are supposed to be representatives of the people and reflect the majority view in their parliaments. Yet never have the opinions of the electorate mattered less to legislators, never has press or the political cabal been less representative of the people they claim to serve’.

Copenhagen is yet another EU capital in flames as the people find themselves in conflict with a repressive ‘we know best’ regime. Before the demonstrations, Denmark, which has been under a partial lockdown since late 2020, had announced that it would ease some coronavirus restrictions but keep the majority of the restrictive measures in place despite protests from the opposition and members of the public who see the restrictions as an encroachment on their freedom.

Eight people were arrested during an anti-lockdown demonstration in Copenhagen this past weekend. Organised by a group called ‘Men in Black’, the gathering of several thousand in the Danish capital was a reaction against the government’s announcement that it was extending its numerous anti-coronavirus restrictions.

The arrested individuals reportedly used illegal fireworks and exhibited rowdy behaviour. Otherwise, the rally was described as largely peaceful by the state police.

Initially, the demonstration gathered around 600 people, but the crowd subsequently more than doubled and then trebled, as more people joined the gathering in front of Copenhagen’s town hall. According to TV2, Hard Line leader Rasmus Paludan also showed up for the demonstration in Copenhagen and gave a short speech.

A demonstration was also held in Aarhus, the country’s second-largest city. There, it was organised by the group Freedom Movement’s Joint Council to show its dissatisfaction with how the government is handling the corona epidemic.

‘Men in Black’ previously arranged intense demonstrations in Copenhagen, Aalborg, and other major Danish cities, which led to a number of arrests. In January, an effigy of Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen was burned in Copenhagen.

Denmark, which has been under a partial lockdown since late 2020, had announced that it would ease some coronavirus restrictions but keep the majority of the restrictive measures in place despite protests from the opposition and members of the public who see the restrictions as discriminatory.

While Danes have been allowed to visit some shops and take part in small-scale sports activities and public events, most restrictions have been extended until 5 April. For instance, bars, restaurants, and most educational institutions remain closed.

Covid statistics, as elsewhere in Europe, are widely regarded as deeply flawed and published by mainstream media to support political rather than health ambitions. Source
