A handful of demonstrators, armed with a megaphone, came to voice their discontent under the windows of prime minister Xavier Bettel and family and integration minister Corinne Cahen's respective residences.

In Luxembourg, it is quite rare to see ministers being harassed in their personal homes. A group of people, however, took to the homes of Bettel and Cahen (both DP) in Bonnevoie to show their discontent with the recently introduced restrictions for unvaccinated people. The government recently limited the CovidCheck system to people who are vaccinated against the coronavirus or recovered from an infection.

Bettel and Cahen did not comment on the protesters’ decision to voice their discontent. But at the last press conference during which the new restrictions were announced, the prime minister insisted that he was not taking this type of measures to be popular, but to protect the population and the economic fabric of the country. Bettel added that he did not expect to be applauded.
