Massive Protests in France Against Macron’s Vaccine Passports for Sixth Straight Week

 Is this in line to equal the Gilet Jaunes protests which went on for 16 months (until COVID came along)

In cities and towns across France hundreds of thousands of people again took to the streets last weekend to protest against Emmanuel Macron’s fascistic health passport mandate. An estimated 175,000 people were involved in 220 separate demonstrations throughout the nation on Saturday, with an estimated 14,700 mobilising in Paris against the so-called ‘pass sanitaire’ (health passport), which is now required for many aspects of normal life in the country. As with protests in the USA, UK and elsewhere in Europe the figures cited in mainstream media reports are likely to be significantly underestimated.

Aside from the main event in Paris, approximately 9,500 marched in the southern city of Montpellier, 4,000 in Strasbourg on the German Borderr, and 3,400 in the western city of Bordeaux, with smaller protests in eery major population centre across the nation, according to the public broadcaster France24.

The Yellow Vest (Gillet Jaune) affiliated group Le Nombre Jaune, however, claimed that a total of 357,100 were on the streets “at a minimum” and that honest reporting would expose the official narrative that the government's anti COVID measures are popular will all but an extremist fringe.

In Paris, anti-vaccine passport protesters held flags reading “Liberté” and chanted the slogan “Macron! We don’t want your pass!”

Earlier this month in France a law requiring citizens to present a vaccine passport to enter into bars, cafes, and restaurants, including those with outdoor seating. The requirement has also been imposed on long-distance travel including buses, trains, and aeroplanes. Opponents of Macron's authoritarian regime see this as a gross infringement of their personal liberty and constitutional rights.

The 'passe sanitaire' records whether an individual has either had two doses of a coronavirus vaccine, a negative antigen test within the past 72 hours, or proof of recovery from the Chinese virus within the past six months.

French police have been seen patrolling outdoor cafes in Paris, demanding to see customer’s health papers, and footage on social media has shown supermarkets refusing people who did not have the pass. These oppressive measures have angered the population with even many vaccinated people objecting to the authoritarianism.

The dictatorial health law, pushed through by President Emmanuel Macron without proper consideration in the national assembly, has also mandated that children as young as twelve years old will need to present a health pass to take part in everyday activities by September.

Businesses that fail to comply with the new laws face fines of up to €45,000 (£38,090/$52,826) as well as a possible prison sentence of one year.  Citizens who fail to produce their health papers face fines of €135 (£114/$158) for their first offence and up to €9,000 (£7,618/$10,565) for repeat offenders.

On Thursday, France’s Minister of the Economy, Bruno Le Maire, said that restaurants that “do not play the game” of enforcing health passports will be prohibited from receiving state aid meant to help struggling businesses during the lockdown-induced economic crisis.
