Officials in New Zealand attempted to get rid of anti-vaccine mandate protesters on Saturday by playing Barry Manilow songs and the “Macarena” repeatedly.
The protests began on Tuesday when a convoy of trucks and cars arrived and blocked roads in Wellington, New Zealand.
According to the police, more than 120 protesters were arrested in New Zealand this week after Parliament grounds were closed and a trespass order was issued. The police clearing out protesters were not wearing riot gear or carrying guns.
It was reported that on Friday, officials turned to water to try and force the remaining protesters out, spraying them with sprinklers. Protesters responded by building trenches to direct the water away from their camps.
New Zealand House Speaker Trevor Mallard came up with a new plan to force the protesters away: blare pro-vaccine messaging, Barry Manilow songs, and “Macarena” on repeat.
Protesters responded with “We’re Not Gonna Take It” by ’80s hair metal band Twisted Sister.
