After delivering a speech to the European Union (EU), leftist Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau didn't get the response he expected, as numerous Members of European Parliament (MEPs) โ from both old and new Europe โ bashed him over his tyrannical repression of the peaceful โFreedom Convoy' protesters in February.

As Fox News reported, Trudeau has also faced backlash at home for how he responded to the Freedom Convoy, as โVideo circulated widely on social media in February of police decked out in riot gear cracking down on convoy protesters in Ottawa by arresting them, tear-gassing them, and deploying officers on horseback through the crowds. One woman was reportedly trampled by a horse, according to footage of the incident.โ
One group ofย Canadianย clergy earlier sent a scathingย open letterย toย Trudeauย rebuking him for invoking the Emergencies Act to quell the peaceful Freedom Convoy protests and for other actions they described as โtyrannical.โ
Back in Europe, some MEPs even tried to prevent Trudeau from speaking to the EU over his โtyrannical' actions. (RELATED: Trudeau Accuses Jewish MP of Standing With โSwastika Wavers')
Alternative for German MEP Bernhard Zimniock said:
I tried to prevent the speech ofย ย PM #Trudeau in the #EU Parliament because he recently trampled on the core values of democracy. Unfortunately, the enemies of democracy are also on the rise in #Europe, as the reaction of my colleagues clearly shows.
#TrudeauTyranny
And Romanian MEP Cristian Terheศ boycotted Trudeau's speech entirely.
Another Alternative for Germany MEP had a fitting welcome for Trudeau,ย called him out as โa disgrace for any democracy.โ (RELATED: In Hiding, Trudeau Hints at Using Canadian Army to Quell Anti-government Protest)
Andย Independent Croatian MEP Mislav Kolakusic accused Trudeau of using the harsh measures of a โdictatorship of the worst kind,โ in a tweet, adding in his linked video:
Under your quasi-liberal boot in recent months, we watched how you trample women with horses, how you block the bank accounts of single parents so that they can't even pay their children's education and medicine, that they can't pay utilities, mortgages for their homes.
