Opnieuw
massaal protest tegen coronapas in Frankrijk
In veel Franse steden zijn vandaag
mensen opnieuw de straat opgegaan om te protesteren tegen de invoering van de
'pass sanitaire', de coronapas.
Volwassenen moeten vanaf maandag kunnen aantonen
dat ze zijn ingeënt tegen het coronavirus, COVID-19 hebben doorstaan of onlangs
negatief zijn getest om naar evenementen met veel publiek en naar culturele
instellingen te gaan. Vanaf augustus moet de pas ook getoond worden bij een
bezoek aan onder meer de horeca en winkelcentra.

verplicht vaccineren van zorgverleners bleek ook al woensdag op de nationale
feestdag Quatorze Juillet. Volgens de Franse media waren er vandaag in Parijs
andermaal duizenden betogers op de been. Tot de initiatiefnemers in de
hoofdstad behoorden de rechtse politicus Florian Philippot (Les Patriotes),
voormalig vicevoorzitter van het Front National, en een kopstuk van de 'gele
hesjes'.
De tegenstanders van de coronapas verwezen ook nu
vaak naar nazimethodes uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Net als woensdag verliepen
de manifestaties niet overal rustig. In onder meer Dijon, Lille, Nantes en Lyon
zette de politie traangas in om de menigte te verspreiden.

As we reported on Monday, France President Emmanuel Macon announced new COVID measures that included mandatory COVID vaccines for health workers, a “health pass” to access the cinema, trains, restaurants as well as in hospitals, retirement homes, medical and social establishments, but also in planes, trains and buses for long trips, curfews, and even “pension reform” where people will “have to work longer and retire later.”
Today was Bastille Day in France, and many people took to the streets to protest, and many clashed with police. Here are some of the videos appearing on Twitter.

A distraught Health Impact News subscriber from France
emailed me today regarding new COVID-19 mandatory vaccine policies that were
just announced by the President of France, Emmanuel Macon.
The President has spoken and the vax is compulsory for people working in
hospitals, medical center, with old people event at home, etc.
The sanitory pass is everywhere even in hospital and above a group of 50
people. He said that everybody will probably have to be vax. France has lost
all her freedom and is worse than China. He also attacks and reforms the
pension and unemployement.
Please help us, French People, the world must know what is happening!
Here is the livestream from YouTube in French.
DIRECT. Macron’s speech: strong announcements, mandatory vaccinations on
the horizon
MACRON. In a speech of firmness, Emmanuel Macon announced the extension
of the health pass to many activities, but also for access to the cinema,
trains, restaurants from this summer. The goal of the head of state is to
drastically accelerate the vaccination.
The announcements of Emmanuel Macron:
About the health pass. “From July 21, the health pass will be extended
to places of leisure and culture. In concrete terms, for all our compatriots
over 12 years old, it will be necessary to have been vaccinated or to present a
recent negative test in order to access a show, an amusement park, a concert or
a festival.”
“From the beginning of August, the health pass will apply in cafés,
restaurants, shopping centers as well as in hospitals, retirement homes,
medical and social establishments, but also in planes, trains and buses for
long trips. Only people who have been vaccinated or can show a negative PCR
test less than 48 hours old will be able to access these places.
“Everywhere, we will have the same approach: recognizing
civic-mindedness and putting restrictions on the unvaccinated rather than on
everyone.”
On vaccination. “We need to vaccinate as quickly as possible. We are a
Nation of science, of the Enlightenment. When science offers us the means to
protect ourselves, we must use them with confidence in reason and progress. We
must aim to vaccinate all French people.
“For nursing and non-healthcare personnel in hospitals, clinics,
retirement homes, institutions for the disabled, for all professionals or
volunteers in contact with the elderly or frail, including at home, vaccination
will become mandatory as of September 15. […] Checks will take place as of July
15 and sanctions will be taken.”
“For those who were vaccinated first, who will soon see their antibody
levels drop: as soon as the school year starts, a booster campaign will be put
in place to allow you to benefit from a new injection.”
“Depending on the evolution of the situation, we will probably have to
ask ourselves the question of compulsory vaccination for all French people, but
I am making the choice of confidence”.
“In colleges, high schools, specific vaccination campaigns will be
launched at the beginning of the school year”.
About PCR tests. “This fall, PCR tests will be made chargeable, unless
prescribed by a doctor, in order to encourage vaccination rather than the
multiplication of tests”.
Curfew in some territories. “We need to put in place new measures to
curb the virus. A curfew will be established for Martinique and Reunion”.
About border controls. “From this week, controls will be strengthened
for nationals coming from countries at risk, with forced isolation for
unvaccinated travelers”.
On economic recovery. “We have to live with this virus. The coming weeks
will be those of mobilization to revive our economy”.
“Our recovery plan is being deployed at a steady pace. Of the 100
billion euros voted last fall, 40 billion have been mobilized on the ground. We
must do even more.
“The unemployment insurance reform will be implemented from October 1”
On the subject of pension reform. Emmanuel Macron also mentioned the
pension reform that will be relaunched “when the health conditions are met.”
“The special regimes will have to be abolished. Because we live longer,
we will have to work longer and retire later. Not tomorrow, not suddenly, not
uniformly, but gradually, over several years and by a system that makes a
difference according to the work actually done.
The retirement age must be later. …] Each pension should be more than
1000 euros”.
About the commitment income for young people. “The nation owes a
response to those who have been most affected by the crisis, especially our
youth who have sacrificed so much while risking little for themselves. I will
present at the beginning of the school year the income of commitment for young
people, which will concern young people without employment or training and will
be based on a logic of duties and rights”.
