PARIS: Protesters opposing a health pass championed by President Emmanuel Macron to defeat COVID-19 massed in streets across France for the fifth successive weekend Saturday , refusing to give in after the measure was fully implemented.

Two separate protests were taking place in Paris - in a sign of the inability of the protesters to fully unite - with slogans like"free France!","stop the corona-madness" or"yes to the freedom to choose" being chanted and brandished. Unlike in the yellow vests demonstrations from 2018 there have been no reports of major incidents in these protests. But they have only been increasing in numbers and show no sign of diminishing.

Macron, who faces re-election next year, has shown little patience with the demands of the protesters while his Health Minister Olivier Veran last week lashed out at a movement"about which we are talking far too much".
