"Macron, your pass we do not want", could we hear this Thursday in the early evening before the Council of State in Paris.

Several hundred demonstrators gathered in front of the building after the decision of the Constitutional Council to validate the health law.

In particular, this will extend the health pass in coffee shops and certain shopping centers from Monday, August 9, and will make vaccination compulsory for caregivers from September 15.

Among the protesters were many yellow vests, such as Jérôme Rodrigues, figure of the movement, stunned by a grenade fire during a demonstration in 2019. The number of protesters grew when a procession joined, first in front of the Constitutional Council, at the Palais-Royal in Paris, the hundred demonstrators who had waited all day for the decision of the Wise Men.

They greeted with hoots the validation of most of the law on the health pass.

"I consider that this is not freedom"

“For me, all of this undermines fundamental freedoms and the freedom to come and go. Freedom is first and foremost the choice to be vaccinated or not. We are in the process of falling into an authoritarian state, launches Marie José, 48 years old. If it is necessary to present a paper to be free, I consider that this is not freedom. "" And the hospitals? Can we go for treatment or are we left to die on the door? A stay-at-home mother had shouted to the protester who was reading the institution's press release, microphone in hand.

The vaccination obligation for caregivers and other professions in contact with vulnerable groups has been validated by the Wise Men, judging that its implementation was indeed “progressive”.

“I'm upset.

We have the right to choose what is good for our health: it's our body!

For me we have entered into a dictatorship.

Do not believe that it will stop with caregivers, ”said Nathalie, 48, hospital administrative officer.
