Faced with figures which seem to reflect a weakening of the mobilization, the anti-vaccination passport seem determined to give voice this Saturday.
More than 200 demonstrations are planned across France to challenge the government's policy in the face of Covid-19.
From Paris to Périgueux via Saint-Denis de la Réunion, the demonstrators intend to show their determination to the authorities, who are counting on a further decline in the movement.
They would like to lie the Minister of Health Olivier Véran, who said Thursday that "the last reluctance is falling in the face of the success of the health pass".

Four processions in Paris
In Paris, where the authorities are expecting 12,000 to 20,000 demonstrators, four processions have set off.
The two main ones left the Port Royal metro station (Ve) at 1 p.m., on the initiative of a movement of "yellow vests", and at 2:30 p.m. from Place Joffre, in front of the Military School (VII), at the call from Florian Philippot, leader of the Patriots.
"It seems that it is demobilizing makes us believe the government?"
“, Quipped the latter by posting on Twitter the photo of a compact crowd.
Florian Philippot hopes to strengthen the anti-pass mobilization at the start of the school year, thanks to a "great unique, national event on Saturday, September 4".

In Morlaix, in Finistère, the demonstrators created a human chain around a roundabout to make their mobilization more visible, dotted with tricolor flags bearing a cross of Lorraine, a symbol of resistance.

The health pass, which must be presented in bars, restaurants, long-distance transport or even hospitals, could be extended beyond November 15, the limit set by law, "if the Covid does not disappear from our lives", informed Thursday Olivier Véran.
Since August 16, sesame has been in demand in shopping centers of more than 20,000 square meters, in departments where the incidence rate exceeds 200 per 100,000 inhabitants over a week. In some departments such as Yvelines, or very recently Essonne, the courts have passed prefectural decrees imposing the health pass in shopping centers, on the grounds that it prevents access to essential goods to people who do not have them. .
