"It's time for this to happen, there are demonstrations all the time," this committed citizen told Europe 1.
"Frankly, it does not lead to anything. We are not listened to. We are really here to try to get things moving. Fed up with everything that has been imposed for two years. I left my job at the month of September because there is the vaccination obligation. I am not vaccinated, and I wanted to take more perspective on this vaccine.
“I had to quit my job”
Sophie explains that she is heartbroken in the face of this outpouring of solidarity.
"Since all these months, I've been struggling. Not being able to go to the movies anymore, not being able to go to the restaurant and see so much energy, so much solidarity. Frankly, it really warms my heart."
