Canada truckers refuse to clear bridge as 'Freedom Convoys' spread | DW News
Police have failed to clear a major bridge-crossing between the US and Canada. It's being blocked by truckers protesting against vaccine rules. Police persuaded some drivers to move their vehicles - but they reconvened later. The weekend has also brought a fresh wave of protesters into the Canadian capital, Ottawa, where a core group of truckers continue to occupy the downtown area.
Taking their outrage to the government's doorstep.
It's been over two weeks now that the Freedom Convoy has camped in the Canadian capital Ottawa.
A plan to force unvaccinated truck drivers crossing between Canada and the US to quarantine, sparked the initial rally.
Police could not move the protesters off a border crossing. It's one of the major corridors into the United States. The blockade has affected trade and supply chains between the two countries.
It's also inspired support rallies over the border to Buffalo in New York State, and as far away as New Zealand.
In the Netherlands - truckers rolled through The Hague.
Thousands of French police were deployed to stop Convoy of Freedom from entering Paris, but some protesters made it.
They took aim at Vaccine Passes and President Emmanuel Marcon, but also tapped into the discontent over rising prices.
Police cleared the streets using tear gas. But this has not ended the protests. Next stop, the European Union's power-base in Brussels.
