			Police fired tear gas at demonstrators who threw rocks and bottles, 
			set construction equipment on fire in Paris, and picketed state 
			buildings across France, in response to President Emmanuel Macron's 
			vaccine and health pass moves. 
			 
			Mass protests all over the country took place on Bastille Day, the 
			anniversary of the 1789 storming of the notorious Paris dungeon that 
			kicked off the French revolution.  
			
			  
			
			In Paris, police fired tear gas to 
			suppress the demonstrators. 
			
			  
			
			  
			
			
			 
			 
			Photos and video from the capital showed protesters erecting 
			barricades from materials found at a construction site.  
			
			  
			
			Some building machinery 
			left unattended was apparently set on fire as well.

			Social media posts about the protests included the hashtags #PassSanitaire 
			and #VaccinObligatoire, referring to Monday's announcement by Macron 
			that healthcare workers will have to get vaccinated against Covid-19 
			by September 15, or face losing their jobs.  
			 
			Moreover, a "health pass" to be introduced in August will limit 
			entry to bars, restaurants, cafes and shopping centers in favor of 
			those who've either tested negative, are fully vaccinated, or 
			recently recovered from the virus.  
			
			  
			
			Macron had previously 
			promised there would be no vaccine mandate or health passports.  
			 
			French outrage wasn't limited to Paris, either.  
			
			  
			
			Videos from around the 
			country show protests in Toulouse and Marseilles in the south, 
			Haute-Savoie in the southeast, and Nantes in the west, among other 
			places... 
			
			  
			
			  
			
			
			 
			"The pass shall not pass!" was the chant of demonstrators besieging 
			the prefecture building in Nantes.

			Liberté! Résistance! 
			
			
			-   A Photo-Report from France   - 
			July 15, 2021

			Emergency demonstrations were held in towns and cities across France 
			on Wednesday July 14, 2021, as the state went full-fascist in 
			imposing bio-security dictatorship. 
			 
			In a televised address on Monday evening President Emmanuel 
			Macron announced that "vaccination" was to be compulsory for all 
			health workers and that, furthermore,  
			
				
				"vaccine passports" 
				were to be required for everyday access to public spaces ranging 
				from cafés and restaurants to trains and buses. 
			 
			
			While some French people 
			were panicked into signing up for the jab so that they could 
			continue with their usual lives and summer holidays, others reacted 
			angrily and quickly organized protests on the public holiday marking 
			the storming of the Bastille during the French Revolution of 1789. 
			 
			In the Mediterranean city of Montpellier, large numbers gathered in 
			the central Place de la Comédie and marched through the city 
			streets. 
  
			
			  
			
			
			
			  
			
			  
			
			 
			There was a visible Gilets Jaunes contingent, but many described 
			themselves as first-time protesters. Health workers, including a 
			doctor, addressed the crowd.  
			
			  
			
			One carried a placard 
			(above) declaring:  
			
				
				"Sack me, lock me up, 
				I will remain free in my choices". 
				 
				"Liberté!" declared the chants.  
				  
				
				"Résistance!" 
				 
				  
				
				"Non au pass 
				sanitaire!"  
				  
				
				"We aren't scared!" 
				the rebels shouted defiantly and they certainly now knew they 
				were not alone. 
			 
			
			Applauded from shop 
			doorways and balconies, they urged onlookers to join them as they 
			made their way to the Préfecture, the city's government building, 
			and encircled it, setting off fireworks. 
			 
			By the time the march descended on the main railway station, it was 
			bigger than ever. 
			 
			Dozens of protesters rushed into the station concourse and there 
			were scuffles with police inside before the demo moved off again 
			into the narrow mediaeval streets. 
			 
			More protests across the country are planned for Saturday.  
			
			  
			
			While the response to the 
			Covid coup in France had up until now been relatively muted, the 
			authorities could well have now pushed things too far. 
			
			  
			
			  
			
			
			  
			
			  
			
				
				"A state lie against 
				citizens' freedom. Everyone on the streets!" 
				  
			 
			
			
			  
			
				  
				
				"For your security 
				you are deprived of your liberties"
