Clashes between supporters and opponents of the bioethics bill, Sunday afternoon in Lyon, the police using tear gas to separate them, we learned from the Rhône prefecture.
Between 1,250 (according to the authorities) and 3,000 people (according to the organizers) marched in the city center.
They found themselves at one point face to face with counter-demonstrators, especially feminists, numbering 350, according to the prefecture.
A "factory of babies paid for by the French"
The police reacted quickly to avoid the physical confrontation, using tear gas to separate them, we learned from the same source.
No injuries are to be deplored.
The demonstrators, close to the Manif pour tous, marched behind a giant baby four meters high, covered with a barcode and intended to symbolize the "factory of babies paid for by the French", as a banner of head.
They responded to the call of a collective bringing together La Manif pour tous and Générations futur and fighting against medically assisted procreation (MAP) without father and surrogacy (Surrogacy).
The bioethics bill and its flagship measure, the opening of the PMA to all women, will return from February 2, at second reading, to the Senate dominated by the opposition.
Several demonstrations have already taken place across France on Saturday.
