Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was given a rude welcome by several members of the European Parliament this week.
During a session of the European Parliament in Brussels, several MEPs called Trudeau out, accusing him of violating human rights over the handling of the Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa last month.
In one speech that has gone viral online, MEP Mislav Kolakusic of Croatia criticized Canada’s leader, stating, “There are those among us who trample on those fundamental values,” a reference to some protesters’ controversial encounter with police horses near Parliament Hill.
Christine Anderson, a member of Parliament from Germany, also rose to condemn Trudeau, saying, "You're a disgrace to any democracy."
French MEP Virginie Joron not only spoke, but wore a sweater honoring American and Canadian truckers who participated in the truck convoys in both countries.
