Thousands protest against France COVID vaccine pass
Protesters have taken to the streets in cities across France to reject a law that would see the implementation of tighter restrictions on people not vaccinated against COVID-19, as Parliament continues to debate the draft bill.
Thousands took part in demonstrations on Saturday, with and array of disparate political groups rallying together. In the capital, Paris, where the largest single gathering set off from near the Eiffel Tower, the protest was called by anti-EU presidential candidate Florian Philippot.
Other protests harked back to the yellow vests movement of 2018-19 against President Emmanuel Macrons planned economic reforms, and there were further gatherings in big cities including Bordeaux, Toulouse and Lille.
People in the crowd chanted no to the vaccine or freedom for Djokovic, seizing on the case of world mens tennis number one Novak Djokovic, who is fighting the Australian government to compete unvaccinated in the Grand Slam Australian Open.
