Will the decline in movement be confirmed?
According to the forecasts communicated to the Parisian by a source at the Ministry of the Interior, some 120,000 opponents of the health pass and the vaccination obligation are expected everywhere in France for the tenth consecutive Saturday demonstration.
Including 15,000 in Paris.
This number is stable compared to the count of the previous week.
Beauvau predicted a slight increase in the demonstration, which ultimately did not materialize.
Saturday evening, the ministry reported 121,000 demonstrators across France, a number which reflected a drop in mobilization for the fifth consecutive Saturday.

The obligation to vaccinate caregivers, effective since Wednesday, can this time lie the forecasts in the opposite direction?
Not enough to create a new impetus for protest, if one relies on the data communicated Thursday by the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran.
"Yesterday there were some 3,000 suspensions which were served on staff of health or medico-social establishments who had not yet entered into a vaccination course," the minister detailed Thursday.
Olivier Véran added that this number was accompanied by "a few dozen resignations".
It remains to be seen whether the protests will remain peaceful across the country.
Last week, some excesses enamelled the processions in Toulouse and Paris.
According to the Interior Ministry, three police officers were injured.
