A demonstration by circus workers in Italy against the lockdown measures taken to limit Corona



A number of workers in circus shows and mobile art shows, in the Italian capital, Rome, went out to demonstrate against the closure measures taken to limit the spread of the new Corona virus in the European country.


The demonstrators demanded that their shows, which had been suspended for more than a year, be allowed due to the pandemic and the measures imposed due to it, and the demonstrators wore clothes and suits for their performances, which gave the protests an entertainment character, according to what was published by "Euro News" website.


The demonstrators insist that the resumption of their public performances will not pose a health risk or contribute to the spread of "Covid-19" disease. They also demanded that the government financially help them so that they can overcome the current ordeal.


In another context, the British newspaper "The Telegraph" reported that the Italian authorities had raided - at an earlier time - a vaccine factory, suspected of hiding a line of 29 million doses of the "Astinika" vaccine intended for developing countries to supply Britain with them.


The newspaper said that the raid means that the British-Swedish company "AstraZeneca" fell victim to more misleading information about its anti-Coronavirus vaccine, after it was falsely accused of hiding the doses, she said.


She indicated that news reports in Italy reported that the European Commission investigation and the raid carried out by the Italian authorities revealed the shipment destined for Britain in the "Catalinet" factory in the town of Anagni.


The "Telegraph" said it is aware that the 29 million doses in the "packaging" plant in the Lazio region, which includes the capital, Rome, were to be sent to European and developing countries within the framework of the "Kovacs" mechanism.


It quoted British sources as saying that it was not waiting for any shipment from Italy, while European Union officials confirmed that many of the doses were intended for poor countries.


According to the newspaper, Italian media reports said that raids were carried out at the factory after a European Union commissioner raised his concerns about him. These reports also quoted sources in the European Union accusing "AstraZeneca" of planning to supply Britain with doses before the European Union countries, although it is too late. In handing over the payments that it committed to with the union.


The "Telegraph" indicated that the reports spread "like wildfire" through the European media, because Brussels threatens the United Kingdom to ban the export of millions of "AstraZeneca" doses produced by the "Halex" factory in the Netherlands.
