Paris-Sana
French police used tear gas and arrested 15 demonstrators as they quelled a protest in Paris today against the imposition of a certificate of vaccination against the Corona virus.
Agence France-Presse reported that thousands of protesters arrived from all over France on the Champs-Elysees avenue in Paris amid chants of "freedom" before the police intervened to evacuate the Arc de Triomphe Square and then the avenue, and about 15 people stopped.
The French authorities expect that the number of participants in the demonstrations will reach between 25 and 30 thousand throughout France.
In turn, the opposition to vaccinations and activist in the yellow vest movement Sophie Tessier said that the government's measures to impose vaccination certificates do not respect the law or the freedom to demonstrate.
The protest movement in France was formed along the lines of the mobilization that paralyzes the Canadian capital Ottawa, which includes opponents of the vaccination certificate, which allows only those who have received the anti-Coronavirus vaccine to enter restaurants, cinemas and other public places, in addition to demonstrators raising social demands.
Some demonstrators intend to arrive in Brussels as part of a European meeting scheduled for next Monday, but the Belgian authorities are preventing convoys from entering the capital.
