Wellington, New Zealand – Despite warnings of heavy rain as a result of Cyclone Dovi, protests against the government’s pandemic measures are entering a second week in New Zealand’s capital, as frustration grows among city residents.
Wellington has faced traffic delays and closed streets since February 8 as protesters – inspired by the so-called ‘freedom convoy‘ in Canada – parked cars, vans, and buses in the capital as part of an effort to occupy parliament’s lawn.
