Luxembourg region’s top scientists have been gathering over the last months to protest measures brought in by the Luxembourg government to stop the spread of the Covid 19 virus.

Hundreds of protesters gathered to argue against the measures, claiming they went against all the education they had researched on Facebook and YouTube.

Local police however decided to take out the hardcore of the protesters by arresting a drummer and a few randoms who had been drinking most of the day.

More protests are planned.

French Hunting Season opens in Luxembourg

French Hunting Season has officially opened in Luxembourg, allowing local residents to legally be able to go hunting for frontaliers crossing the border for non essential reasons.

Officials are hoping to slow down the spread of Covid 19 by allowing such measures and hopefully allowing some entertainment during these difficult times.

The decision to open the season came after record numbers of French and Belgian “Covid Tourists” flooded over the borders for non essential shopping. Restaurants reported being completely full, however they received record lows in terms of tips.

Luxembourgish and French police launched border operations that included helicopters, in order to catch perpetrators crossing the borders on small roads.

After witnessing some scenes, officials have now announced the start of French Hunting Season and hope that this will serve as a deterrent.

Anyone who happens to have a successful hunt, is encouraged to stuff and preserve the catch and hang it on a wall, maybe as a decoration that the family can enjoy at Christmas.
