Protesters took to the streets of France for the fifth consecutive Saturday to oppose the country’s pass sanitaire – health pass – now required for everyday activities.
More than 250,000 people were expected at about 200 demonstrations, an increase in the number that officials said had turned out last week. Protesters have accused the government of underestimating the numbers and playing down support.
The protesters are opposed to the government’s decision to make the pass sanitaire obligatory for restaurants, bars, cinemas, theatres and most public buildings apart from shops. They accuse the government of infringing their civil and personal liberties. A number are also opposed to the vaccination of children; France has been vaccinating the 12-17 age group since May.
To obtain a health pass, individuals must be fully vaccinated, have a recent negative Covid-19 test or have had the coronavirus in the past.
Protests in France are unusual in August, when many families are away, especially around the 15th of the month, which is an important public holiday.
President Emmanuel Macron’s decision to make the pass obligatory for those wishing to return to a more normal life is aimed at coercing the population to get vaccinated. Ministers hope it will also avoid a return to harsher restrictions including lockdowns and curfews.
So far an estimated 46 million French people – 66.8% – have had at least one vaccination and just under 39 million are fully vaccinated. The country is on track to reach its target of 50 million people vaccinated at least once by the end of the month.
France is currently delivering 240,000 first jabs a day – compared with about 36,000 a day in the UK.
The anti-pass movement appears to be strongest in the south of the country, where there are also the lowest rates of vaccination. The protests have united the far right and hard left as well as a wide number of people in between including conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers, the gilets jaunes and those politically opposed to Macron and centrist government.
“I am for the vaccine and had it months ago, but not the health pass, which is discriminatory,” one protester said.
In Paris there were three separate marches, including one led by Florian Philippot, a former adviser to far-right leader Marine Le Pen, who left her party in 2017 and now heads his own called Les Patriotes. All were heavily policed. There were also demonstrations in Lyon, Toulon, Montpellier, Nice, Marseille and Perpignan.
The day of the rope can’t come soon enough for the likes of Macron and it’s (((masters))).
the main protests are the elimination of our freedoms
not just the covid nonsense but the mass emigration of foreign nationals
the government is not listening to the people
the yellow vest movement here in France is figting for everyone just just french people
Every revolution starts with protest.
“The protests have united the far right and hard left as well as a wide number of people in between including conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers, the gilets jaunes and those politically opposed to Macron and centrist government.”
Er…so everyone then.
Those damned majorities, screwing it up for everyone else.
Vive La Revolution!
Mort a Macron!
Of all the media, the Truth Seeker have chosen the lying Guardian of the Globalist Empire to report on the French situation of which they know very little…quel dommage!!!
Rebellion against draconian authority would be a Terrific PANDEMIC.
Along with the rope Tony ‘O’, Rebellion can’t come quick enough either.
@ MM
BUT SORRY EVERY REVOLUTION WAS
ORGANIZED BY JEWS ! ! !
because goyim have no mafia organisation
to be master of conspiration like the jews .
A police state has nothing to fear from a non-violent populace..Let them protest all they want, as long as they don’t get homicidal, it doesn’t mean anything. That’s why Crowley’s leaflet ‘Liber Oz’ should be distributed to these protestors…but nobody listens..
As US General Alexander Haig once said;
“Let them march all they want – as long as they pay their taxes.”
Even with guns, the American population did nothing.
The French may be a different story. Although guns may be illegal there, they can still be
purchased on the Black Market, or if need be, forcibly taken from the Gendarmes.
However, once this road has been taken, and chaos reigns supreme, the Extremists will swoop in
and take over. It happened in Russia in 1917, and later in Nazi Germany. Those folks you thought
were your allies may suddenly show up at your door at 4am.
