And if the French, Italians, Brits, and maybe us, en masse refuse to display the ‘virus pass’ vaccinated or not, how long can the requirement last? What can the government do then? “Je refuse, mi refiuto, I refuse”. Or maybe a simpler “Non!, No, No!”
In Italy, thousands of protesters gathered in Rome, Milan, Verona and other cities Saturday, protesting the government’s decision to require a “Green Pass” to access indoor dining, local fairs, stadiums, cinemas and other gathering places.
In the northern city of Verona, several thousand people marched down the main shopping street, chanting “No Green Pass!” and “Freedom!” They included families with young children, medical doctors who said they are risking their jobs not to get vaccinated and people who likened the Green Pass decision to decisions by fascist dictatorships.
The demonstrations proceeded peacefully and dissipated into summer evening crowds.
