They did:

Coronavirus: Thousands protest in Germany against restrictions

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-53622797 (with video)

1 August 2020



Demonstrators said measures including the wearing of facemasks violated their rights and freedoms. Officials say about 20,000 people attended the Berlin protest on Saturday.

Police broke up the protest, saying organisers had not respected coronavirus hygiene regulations.

Germany has been less badly affected by the pandemic than some European countries, but cases are rising. On Friday it recorded more than 900 new cases and seven deaths.

Re: Thousands Protest in Berlin

These remind me of the anti-vaccination crowd. Protesting against something that could potentially save their lives then wonder why infections spread like wildfire.

As an aside, Sweden is beginning to regret its folly by following a `herd immunity` model instead of lockdown. Sweden's infection rate is spreading exponentially.

Re: Thousands Protest in Berlin

I met a conspiracy theorist the other day. In the local graveyard of all places.

I often go there to have a quiet sit. This elderly lady came and sat at the other end of the bench and got chatting.

Apparently .... all this is in the Bible .. the 'end of times' is here ... when we get a vaccination, only certain people will be given it ( the rest presumably culled out with covid) .. and there will be a 'chip' injected with it, so we have some mark on the forehead and only those with the chip can get food.
It all sounded vague and bizarre and she mentioned Bill Gates and devil worship too.
There's some weird people in graveyards now.
She looked such a sweet old dear.

Israel's Netanyahu rails against protesters asking him to resign

Demonstrators want the long-serving Israeli PM to resign over handling of coronavirus crisis and corruption charges.

The demonstrations in Israel have a very high political content.

EVERYTHING in Israel has a very high political content.

Serbian police arrest 71 in coronavirus protests

https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...virus-protests
Clashes occurred during a fourth night of anti-government protests that were initially sparked by the announcement of a new coronavirus lockdown, a senior police official has said.

Fourteen police officers were injured when hundreds of demonstrators tried to storm the parliament building in downtown Belgrade on Friday evening, the police director, Vladimir Rebić, said. Several reporters were also hurt.

Protesters defying a ban on gatherings because of the pandemic, threw bottles, rocks and flares at police who were guarding the parliament building, and police responded with teargas to disperse them.

Similar clashes broke out twice earlier this week. The protests began when the populist president, Aleksandar Vučić, announced a strict curfew for this weekend to curb a surge in new coronavirus cases.
