REPORTING

New day of mobilization everywhere in France against the health pass.

Thousands of people took to the streets of Paris, Marseille, Montpellier, Lille and even Rennes, to cry out their anger a few days after the start of the school year and the launch of a vaccination campaign for those over 12 years old.

In Paris, where five rallies were scheduled, thousands of demonstrators marched from the foot of the Eiffel Tower to the Invalides.

Zoé Pallier, special correspondent for Europe 1, joined the procession towards Bastille and questioned demonstrators, still so motivated after eight Saturdays of demonstrations. 

"Our whole life is in danger of being ruined"

"We will not let go because it is serious what is happening," said Emilie, who was demonstrating for the fifth consecutive week.

"Vaccination is compulsory in my profession. I received a letter urging me to go and get vaccinated. When we receive that, we say to ourselves' thin, our whole life is in danger of being ruined. '. I will not get vaccinated as long as I can still feed my children. "

Motivated demonstrators, others a little discouraged

In the procession, the word "freedom" was on all the signs, on everyone's lips. We also found the same slogans as a few weeks ago. Like Emilie, many demonstrators have indicated that they will not bow to government injunctions. Others, however, were a little more discouraged. Weariness is indeed starting to settle in some people, who told Zoé Pallier that they continued to come for the "symbol" even if they finally realized that the government did not intend to give in. .
