Truckers in the Netherlands formed a convoy on Sunday to protest their nation’s lockdown measures, following the lead of their fellow road hauliers in Canada.

According to a report by Hart von Nederland, dozens of vehicles joined a convoy on Sunday morning in a way reminiscent of proceedings on the other side of the Atlantic, with those taking part demanding an end to lockdown restrictions supposedly aimed at curbing the Chinese Coronavirus.
“I’m going to ride as long as I can, because I’m tired of all the measures,” the publication reports one protester as saying. “Freedom, that’s what it’s all about, freedom!”
“We are against the corona measures of the current cabinet and that is why we will soon go on a parade through Friesland,” said another woman who planned on taking part in the convoy. “Sitting at home on the couch makes no sense and that is why it is good that we now let’s all know for once; enough is enough.”
