New protests as France set to implement Macron’s health pass | Malay Mail

PARIS, Aug 7 — Protesters took to the streets across France today for the fourth weekend in a row to rally against a new health pass needed to enter a cafe or travel on an inter-city train, two days before the new rules come into force.

But opponents, who have turned out en masse in the streets in the past weeks, argue that the rules encroach on civil liberties in a country where individual freedom is prized. In one of several protests planned in Paris alone, hundreds began gathering at Pont de Neuilly metro station on the outskirts for a march to the centre, chanting “freedom!” and “no to the health pass”.

Although many of the protesters are among those refusing to be vaccinated, some have taken the jabs but object to the principle of the health pass.
