(EFE).- Some 8,000 people on Sunday took to the streets in Brussels to protest measures imposed to curb the coronavirus pandemic and the possibility of making vaccines mandatory as the two-week incidence rate of Covid-19 hit an all-time record of 2,127 per 100,000 inhabitants.
The rally began near the Belgian capital’s North Station and the crowd headed toward the European quarter, where the protesters displayed posters in defense of freedom and against the “dictatorship of stigmatization” of the unvaccinated.
The protest was mostly peaceful but some demonstrators threw projectiles and fireworks at the security forces – which were heavily deployed to maintain order – near the headquarters of the European Commission and Council.
Security forces responded to the unruly behavior with water cannons and tear gas, which brought the demonstration to an end.
The protesters claim that the Covid-19 digital certificate, which is required to enter bars, restaurants and some leisure events in Belgium is “contrary to fundamental rights and discriminatory”, according to Belgium’s Le Soir newspaper.
Some said they do not oppose vaccines but rather the possibility that they might be made mandatory for people other than healthcare personnel starting in January 2022.
The digital health certificate would also be compulsory for workers such as firefighters, who complain that 20 percent of their Brussels personnel (some 200 people) – who refuse to get vaccinated – could not work if they were required to present such a certificate, and who joined the protests on Sunday.

PITY it was just 8 thousand, and not EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND!!!!
Government imperial lockdowns only work to prevent an initial Pandemic overwhelming of the hospitals with aged or immunity compromised people. When you lock out the under 45 and young from getting the virus which seldom kills them, you destroy the natural born human laboratories of immunity housed within the human body created by God and nature to naturally weaken and then eliminate the virus. The weaker herd weakened Omicron variant is a case in point. Even Fauci admits the vaccines do not create long term immunity, like nature’s way of doing it. The virus is here and EVERYONE is going to be exposed to it sooner rather than later. Those whose natural immunity prevents the virus from harming them are our first line of defense and best laboratory of herd immunity creation. Locking these people down from exposure only extends the time of the pandemic, extends the social and economic pain of a nation, and allows American political parties of criminal intent to steal more elections, and keeps the political power obsessed criminals in power. Fast herd immunity acquiring Republican PEOPLE POWER obsessed Florida and Texas are the examples to follow, not the PARTY POWER obsessed blue states and Democrat run cities still wallowing in fear, lockdowns and legions of virulent unweakened germs.
I am shocked, they are not going as far as to tell folk ‘EITHER GET THE SHOT< or get cut out of society period. NO shopping for food or house hold goods.. No doing banking even online. and so on…
The Big Liberals all think and speak like they are Orwell’s “Big Brother”.,,,,then all they give us are midgets like Fauci to play the part. No chance of socially conquering the American Atals who shrugs them off like an Ayn Rand in her novel.
