France braces for nationwide protests against Covid-19 health pass
France24 ^ | August 7, 2021

Thousands of French protesters will take to the streets on Saturday for a fourth consecutive weekend to demonstrate against the government-imposed Covid-19 health pass. The pass, which is an extended version of the EU’s Covid-19 travel pass, comes into force on Monday, and is mandatory for access to public spaces such as bars and restaurants.

Days after France's top constitutional authority approved the pass, calling it a "balanced trade-off" between public health concerns and personal freedom, protests are expected Saturday across the country for a fourth weekend in a row.

The health pass limits access to inter-city trains and planes to the vaccinated, and to people who can prove they have tested negative for the virus.

Saturday's protests are set to take place nationwide with demonstrations planned in the southern cities of Nice and Marseille along with the northern city of Lille.

In Paris, at least three separate protests are scheduled to take place.

Emmanuel Macron had better start thinking of the Storming of the Bastille and Louis XVI

Pass Sanitaire.

That's a hell of a name for a document encouraging the free movement of variant spreaders.

It has been argued that the US would cease to exist if not for the work of the French. We owe it to them to pay attention.

As DeSantis said the other day, oppose the Biomedical Security State.

Yep. Exactly the reason the feds are rushing FDA approval of the Pfizer concoction by Labor day or sooner.

Then it will be full speed ahead.

There is no such thing.

What about people who have had either asymptomatic or symptomatic COVID and have not gotten the vaccine? Supposedly, those people have many times the immunity than the vaccinated - but don’t have the papers.

What a farce!

I thought that it was interesting that they protest on weekends. Maybe that they are working during the week? These are good people.
