Large demonstrations have been happening the last few days everywhere in Europe against renewed covid lockdowns, vaccine passports and mandatory vaccination.
It shows that the people, especially the young, are starting to turn against the political establishment that promote these measures. A big part of what attracts the young is the sense that they are part of an exciting mass movement. I get a strong sense of that here. It remains to be seen what the lasting results will be and who will reap the political rewards.
The crowds look to be a pretty good mix, young and older, male and female. I see lots of national flags but don't see any of those blue European Union flags. That's probably significant.
Vienna, Austria.
