Dutch Protest Against Vaccine Passports

Dutch Protest Against Vaccine Passports

Demonstrations against vaccine passports have been taking place across the world over the weekend, including in the Netherlands, where people protested against the “medical apartheid” barring those who haven’t been vaccinated or tested for Covid from bars, restaurants and theatres. The Guardian has the story.

Hours after the requirement to show the pass or a recent negative coronavirus test took effect, the Government of caretaker Prime Minister Mark Rutte sacked a cabinet minister who had publicly questioned the measure.

Rutte’s office said Deputy Economic Affairs Minister Mona Keijzer had been dismissed because her comments went against cabinet policy on an issue “of such importance and weight”.

In an interview with the Telegraaf newspaper, Keijzer questioned whether the requirement was justified. “If we end up in a society where we have to be afraid of each other unless we can show proof, then you really have to scratch your head and ask yourself: is this the direction we want to go?” she was quoted as saying. …

Several hundred protesters gathered in The Hague, the seat of the Dutch Government, to march through the city centre.

Most Dutch people support the introduction of the admission pass, but it has drawn criticism from the hospitality sector.

More than 40% of bar and restaurant owners do not plan to ask clients for the vaccination certificate, said Koninklijke Horeca Nederland, the country’s hospitality industry association, citing a survey of its members.

It said many businesses saw the requirement as a “political tool” aimed at boosting vaccination take-up.

“It is not only impossible to enforce, but will financially damage a sector that is just starting to recover,” the association added in a statement.
