People attend a demonstration called by French nationalist party “Les Patriotes” , to protest against France’s new coronavirus disease vaccine pass, in Paris, France, January 22, 2022. REUTERSpix: Some 38,000 people protested across France Saturday, the interior ministry said, two days before a vaccination health pass becomes mandatory to take part in much of public life.
From Monday, those aged 16 and above will have to show they have been jabbed to access restaurants or bars, leisure activities or use inter-regional public transport.Opponents of the policy say the reinforced measures will impinge upon daily “freedoms” and have railed against what they dub a form of social “apartheid”.
An estimated 5,200 demonstrated in Paris, the ministry said, at rallies largely attended by supporters of the nationalist, anti-EU presidential candidate Florian Philippot. Some demonstrators brought their children along and many of those marching did not wear masks as they waved French flags and bore banners demanding “freedom”.Sophie, a 44-year-old legal worker, and Franck, a 56-year-old IT worker, told AFP they had had their jabs but were against their daughter being pressured into also being vaccinated.In Bordeaux in the southwest, Anaelle, a nurse, denounced compulsory vaccination as “shameful”.
