(ANSA) - PARIS, 09 FEB - Appeals on social networks of so-called "freedom convoys" multiply in France to "march" on Paris, in protest against the measures adopted by the current administration of President Emmanuel Macron to combat the coronavirus.
A protest directly inspired by the 'Freedom convoy' of the Canadian truckers who blocked downtown Ottawa.
Today the government spokesman Gabriel Attal acknowledged the "fatigue" of the French in the face of the Covid-19 crisis, but rejected criticism, arguing that France is among the countries that has taken "fewer binding measures" against the pandemic.
"We have made the choice to limit the restrictive measures as much as possible, thanks, in particular, to the health pass yesterday and today to the vaccination pass (equivalent to the Super Green Passitaliano)", he insisted, ensuring that the measures will be revoked "as soon as the situation improves".
With the hope that it is between "late March and early April", she specified.
Two months after the first round of the presidential elections, on 10 April, thousands of opponents of the vaccination pass plan to reach the capital on Friday evening and some suggest continuing to Brussels, for a "European convergence" of the fight, on Monday 14 February.
Meanwhile, the candidate of the Rassemblemement Nationalall'Elysée, Marine Le Pen, says she "understands" the movement while the number 2 of France Insoumise, Adrien Quatennens, "encourages" the party comrades who share the requests to join the "convoys".
