Ongoing — COVID-19 pandemic in Luxembourg
- 11 December - Several hundred people demonstrated in Luxembourg on Saturday against the anti-Covid measures adopted in the Grand Duchy. The rally, flown over by a helicopter and drones, was strictly supervised by Luxembourg police, supported by reinforcements from neighboring Belgium, after overflows that occurred on Saturday, December 4 during a similar demonstration. The protesters then forced the entrance to a Christmas market and threw eggs at the home of Prime Minister Xavier Bettel, demanding his resignation. The police this time used a water cannon to repel a group of demonstrators who were trying to force the roadblock blocking access to the city center by throwing firecrackers and smoke bombs. A dozen people were arrested. [1]
