There are more anti vaxxers in some mainland EU countries, I think in this case it's mostly (can't rule it out 100%) nothing to do with a backlash.
Rep of Ireland is also suspending it ATM.
Some countries also choose to be extra careful to try to counter the anti vaxxers (look! we are doing extra checks) but not sure that is actually helpful...it may make people more scared?

Given that the EMA and the WHO have both said there's no reason to suspend AZ use, it does seem that way. It's getting increasingly difficult to see this other than as a post-Brexit anti-Britain backlash, particularly given previous ill-advised statements on the AZ vaccine from senior European politicians.
