RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – In Europe, there is a massive protest and resistance movement of millions of people who are aware of what is at stake here.

“These people are aware of the fact that Europe’s constitutional rights are being suspended without an end date and that the continent is heading toward a new system, a tyrannical regime of mass surveillance and control,” Eva Vlaardingerbroek, a legal philosopher from the Netherlands, told Fox News.

In her opinion, this is all part of a larger plan. For the American audience, it’s important to know that in Europe there’s this Covid digital pass, which is basically like a QR code on your phone that gives access to daily life, like bars, restaurants, and so on.

It is completely linked to the person’s vaccination status. This is all part of a European project launched by the European Commission to create a European digital identity.

This system will not only be linked to Covid vaccination status, but will also include taxes, medical data, banking information and more. She added that there is already a system in Europe that is very similar to the beginnings of China’s social credit system.

Europe is turning into China, she warns.

Let’s assume that this development will be merged with the coming digital currencies, while cash is on the retreat. In this case, governments could completely control every citizen and financially prevent anyone from buying anything and going anywhere.

Europeans would become slaves to a supposedly democratic government.

This agenda is supposed to be layout by 2030.

That’s why all these people are taking to the streets and protesting. Everything now depends on whether the governments will implement this plan or not, she says.

Austria will soon decide on mandatory Covid vaccination at the national level. The parliament in Austria will vote on it in the next few days. This means that in Austria, from February or March, Covid vaccination will be compulsory for everyone over the age of 18.

If you don’t get vaccinated, you will have to pay massive fines up to EUR 15,000 per year, she says. The existence of an unvaccinated person will become illegal.

Everybody will have this digital Covid pass. It would not be the first time in history that tyranny was born in Austria.

What will happen in Austria on Thursday is a landmark case that will determine whether Europe will continue to be part of the free West for much longer.

“And it looks like this law is going to be passed in Austria and Europe is heading for an end of the line, which is tyranny. This is what Europeans have to fight against now,” says Eva Vlaardingerbroek.

She added that Europeans must work together to save their freedom for the future. If this happens in Europe, America will be next.
