185. This is the number of demonstrations planned this Saturday in France against the health pass, the eleventh act of a weekly mobilization, in decline for several weeks.

Between 60,000 and 80,000 demonstrators against the health pass are expected Saturday throughout France, we learned from a police source.

According to the Interior Ministry, they were 80,000 demonstrators across the country last weekend, including 6,100 in Paris, far from the 237,000 participants of August 7.

Four processions are planned in the capital, as last week and the police expect an equivalent mobilization (about 6,000 people).

From 12 noon in the capital, "yellow vests" will start from the Gare de Lyon to go to the Sacré-Coeur.

At 2 p.m., the demonstration of the Patriots, led by Florian Philippot (ex-number 2 of the National Front), will move from Place de Barcelona (16th arrondissement) towards Place Vauban (7th arrondissement).

The last two parades announced should be much smaller.

On September 30, the health pass should be applied to 12-17 year olds

The police fear possible "tensions" in Marseille, Metz and Nancy. On September 11, clashes broke out in the capital between demonstrators and the police in the morning and then at the end of the day around the Palais-Royal, giving rise to 104 arrests. But on September 18, the parades had been quiet and the authorities had only reported 12 arrests nationwide.

For the record, a bill to extend the health pass beyond November 15 will be presented on October 13 in the Council of Ministers.

And the health pass, set up by the government to counter the Covid-19 epidemic, became mandatory on July 21 in places hosting more than 50 people.

It was then extended to hospitals except emergencies, bars and restaurants, large shopping centers by prefectural decision and on August 30 to 1.8 million employees in contact with the public.

On September 30, it should be applied to 12-17 year olds.
