Anti-lockdown and anti-vaccine passport protests erupted across Europe on Saturday, according to media photos and videos.

Thousands upon thousands of demonstrators were seen in London, Dublin, Paris, Rome, Athens, and other cities across Europe, according to footage and news reports.

The demonstrations in France appeared to be the tensest, with riot police firing tear gas as clashes erupted in central Paris.

Police sought to push back demonstrators near the capital’s Gare Saint-Lazare railway station after protesters had knocked over a police motorbike ridden by two officers, news footage showed. Scuffles between police and demonstrators also broke out the Champs-Elysees thoroughfare, where teargas was fired and traffic was halted, it showed.

France’s Interior Ministry said that about 160,000 people partook in the protests on Saturday—sharply up from 114,000 a week before that, reported Reuters.

The reason for the protest, in part, was due to pending legislation in France’s Parliament that would set up a vaccine passport system as well as a vaccination mandate for all healthcare workers. The passport bill would force people to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test result to enter restaurants and other public areas—which critics have described as needlessly draconian.

Protesters railed against the proposed bill, saying, “no to shameful pass” while denigrating French President Emmanuel Macron as a “tyrant.”

“We need to wait a little bit before the French people can decide … I think a part of France is always going to be unwilling and that blackmail and threats won’t work,” protester Ayoub Bouglia, an engineer, told The Associated Press for why he’s demonstrating.

Thousands of Italian demonstrators gathered in Rome, Naples, Verona, and Milan on Saturday, according to videos and photos published online.

In Verona, thousands chanted, “No Green Pass,” referring to Italy’s government decision to implement a vaccine-passport-like system for people to enter local fairs, stadiums, theaters, and other gathering areas.

Also on Saturday, demonstrators in Dublin, Ireland, emphatically called on the government to rescind lockdown and mask measures.

London, England, also drew significant anti-vaccine demonstrations, with protesters waving flags and singing songs.

Some 4,000 people, meanwhile, appeared outside of the Greek parliament in central Athens to protest against mandatory vaccinations, DW and other news agencies reported. Greek authorities used tear gas on some protesters.

For the fourth consecutive weekend, thousands of demonstrators in France took to the streets to protest against the country’s strict new COVID-19 rules, including a so-called “health pass” that restricts non-vaccinated people from entering restaurants, bars, gyms, and other venues.

Video footage uploaded on social media showed demonstrators marching in Paris, chanting slogans against vaccine passports and other mandates, including, “No vaccine passports.”

A group of anti-lockdown and anti-vaccination protesters clashed with police as they tried to gain access to BBC studios in west London.

Protesters were seen confronting officers with scuffles breaking out as they attempted to enter the site in White City. A line of police officers were filmed pushing back protesters to stop them entering.

It is understood the group arrived to protest plans for vaccine passports and the vaccination of children.

One person posted online: "Official Voice protesters try storming the BBC studios at White City but them come up against a heavy police presence.

"They are protesting against vaccine passports and vaccine for kids."

France’s COVID-19 ‘Health Pass’ Expands in Scope Despite Protests

The French government on Monday expanded more activities requiring the use of a COVID-19 “health pass” despite large-scale protests against such measures.

The pass extensions include visiting hospitals, intercity travel, and going to restaurants and cafes.


That is a huge fuck-you to the public.

It is a demonstration that the French government does not represent the French people in the least. Instead, the French government represents the financial interests of Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J.

Macron's head should be in a basket.

Macron is using "Newspeak" from 1984 in saying that the denial of your freedom protects your freedom.

It's exactly like saying "War is peace" and "Slavery is freedom".

The French will not be free until Macron's head is in a basket.

Every request for a "vaccine passport" should be rightly replied to with gunfire directed at the highest French "health care" official who ordered it.

France’s COVID passport revolt is just beginning

August 12, 2021 | 9:02 am

Written by:

Jonathan Miller

Three weeks ago, 100,000 demonstrators turned out on the streets of France to protest President Emmanuel Macron’s hastily passed law to require vaccination passports to get on a train, eat at a restaurant or visit a shopping center. A week later, the number had more than doubled. Last Saturday, it doubled again. One police union estimated that close to 500,000 had turned out, although as usual the Interior Ministry claimed a much lower number. Enormous demonstrations were staged not just in Paris but in more than 150 cities and towns across France, as well as in the overseas territories of Guadeloupe and Réunion.

All this in the middle of the sacred summer holiday season. On the current trajectory, one million could be on the streets by September. With eight months to go before the first round of the presidential election, Macron and his ministers have kindled a national revolt. It could be as prolonged and divisive as the revolt of the gilets jaunes, which only stopped in March last year after the first wave of COVID.

Ministers are still pouring petrol on the flames. This week, the health minister dismissed protesters as ‘a magma of anti-vax, anti-science and anti-state’ activists. With the connivance of a tame media, officials have painted protesters as dangerous, ultra right-wing extremists.

On Monday, a protester who on Saturday was photographed carrying a sign denouncing, inter alia, Macron, Klaus Schwab, Bernard Henri-Lévy and George Soros was described as anti-Semitic by the interior minister, an allegation instantly and uncritically repeated by BFMTV, Macron’s ever-loyal news channel. By nightfall she was in a police cell.

Anyone outside of France can be forgiven for misreading the mood here. The deliberate demonization of protesters is enthusiastically relayed by foreign journalists parroting the lines fed to them by Elysée flacks. The Sunday Times of London called protesters ‘far right and gilets jaunes’.

Yet as scores of videos available on social media show, these are not archetypal tinfoil hat-wearing anti-vaxxers, though a tiny handful might be. Indeed, many of them have been vaccinated. (After a slow start, roughly 80 percent of French people over 50 have had two shots.) Nor are many wearing yellow gilets. They say they’re protesting ‘liberticide’ — the progressive elimination of freedom in the cause of fighting an epidemic that’s being exploited in the service of Macron’s reelection campaign. They’re objecting to compulsion and endless official intrusions into everyday life, and they quake at talk of a third, fourth or even annual or biannual vaccination against the endless mutation of variants.

The demonstrators are young and old. They include uniformed firefighters, families, teachers, Catholics, leftists, nationalists, nurses and restaurant owners. Many are pushing strollers. They’re not black-clad anarchists or rustics. They’re overwhelmingly middle-class and peaceful. Many say it’s the first demonstration they’ve ever attended. They don’t like Macron, who they believe is dividing the French by pitting the young and the fed-up against the baby boomers, his natural constituents.

I’ve lived in France, on and off, for 20 years. I’m unable to recall such a petulant mood. Ten days ago, the newly appointed prefect of my department declared it compulsory to wear masks inside and outside. The edict is being totally ignored.

On Monday night in Paris, police raided restaurants and were issuing €135 ($159) fines to diners without COVID passes. At railway stations, officials are checking every traveler and issuing blue bracelets to authorize them to board trains. Hideous wire cages are being erected around some terraces to stop evasion of checks. Business at restaurants and cafés is duly collapsing. Naturally, the restaurants at the National Assembly and Senate are exempt from all of this.

Eighteen months ago, France turned into a republic of absurdities as it became illegal to leave the house without a signed declaration and supermarkets were forbidden to sell ‘non-essential’ socks. (For a time, the sale of face masks was restricted, then face masks became compulsory.) The country was subjected to a 7 p.m. curfew, earlier than the Germans imposed during the occupation.

Today, the dirigismes are becoming even more sinister and provocative. Hospitals are hiring hundreds of security guards to scan health passports before admitting visitors and even patients, even as many mutinous health care workers are threatened with the sack for refusing passports themselves. Police are checking cafés as real crime runs rampant. Masked officers have also been filmed interrogating restaurant-goers, telling customers to present their phones so that their health status can be inspected.

While today small businesses are threatened with fines of €45,000 ($53,000) and their owners with a year in prison for failing to check the vaccination status of their customers, the future looks even worse. Most provocative is the government’s plan to extend the vaccine passport to those over the age of 12 from the end of next month. And it’s been reported that some health officials wish to vaccinate those as young as five. It’s estimated that fewer than 20 children have died in France with COVID since March last year, and many of them had comorbidities.

Macron has no children, having married a woman 25 years his senior. It’s fair to suppose he has absolutely no idea how provocative his latest moves will prove. He apparently believes this authoritarianism, showing strength in the war on the virus, will get him reelected. It might. Political opposition to the president remains fractured and weak. Few mainstream politicians have put their heads above the parapet to support the demonstrators.

In a July vote passing the passport law, Macron’s majority three times rejected amendments to exclude the possibility that a passe sanitaire would be required to vote in France. Surely such a measure would be impossible? Perhaps, but it’s an indication of the mood here that many don’t think so, especially after the constitutional council of superannuated politicians waived through the vaccine passports with nary a murmur.

It’s a little remarked feature of the president’s crackdown that the one group he will depend on to enforce his new law has been specifically excluded from complying with it. The police, whose armories have been freshly replenished with tear gas and rubber bullets, are exempt. Demonstrations so far have been peaceful. A month from now that may no longer be true.


Lol, Le Roi Macron had to exclude the police from the mandatory jab or they certainly would have revolted.

If they have any integrity, they will still revolt.

Macron's head should be in a basket, next to that of his health minister.
48   Shaman   2021 Aug 14, 11:22am  

If the French don’t revolt, then they really are as cucked and a bunch of pussies as we always thought they were.

I’d like to think that “it couldn’t happen here” but it’s almost a reality in LA.

Bitchute observer states that Russian vax passport has started blowing up because people just aren't going to the places that require them and the businesses that lost their customers are screaming at the government. In France, they are showing empty grocery stores that require vax passports.

I suppose they never took into account that NOT requiring a vaccine passport could be a competitive advantage. If you have a store that works on a ten percent margin, the vaccine passport could very well put you down into the red quickly if people decide not to support.

NYC update:

This past Sunday there was a "protest" against mandates. It was approximately 300 people according to the organizers. I say "protest" because it was really just an advertisement for the Republican party and their next mayoral candidate Silwa.

The crowd was there for the right reasons though, with plenty of representation from all groups. The numbers were honestly disheartening.

As for the indoors proof of vaccine thing: today [8/17] was supposed to be "for real this time were starting to do this." Just from my glances passing through Soho [highest vax rate in the city] the lunch places seem slightly less busy. I imagine people are opting to sit outside because of the mild weather. Can't attribute anything to the mandate yet.

I can't see very many places giving a fuck about it until the government starts passing out scanning stations for RFID passports. Wouldn't surprise me if that was the plan from the beginning, and thats why so many electronics resources became difficult to obtain. That's all theory though.

https://summit.news/2021/08/16/businesses-are-refusing-to-enforce-frances-vaccine-passport



Anecdotal evidence detailed by former Google software engineer Mike Hearn strongly suggests that most restaurants, cafes and other businesses in France are not enforcing the country’s controversial vaccine passport system.

As we highlighted last week, on the first day the new program was in place, police were visibly patrolling bars and cafes demanding customers show proof they’ve had the jab.

However, this seems to have largely been a bluff as just days later, businesses and venues have become very lax at checking people’s papers despite the threat of large fines.

“I decided to do a simple experiment to find out: always present an expired test even though I had a valid negative one, and see what happens,” writes Hearn.

“Over a four day stay I was required to show a valid pass exactly zero times; that includes at the airports in both directions. Compliance is absolutely min viable and often lower.”

“At small businesses enforcement was non-existent: sometimes the pass requirement was ignored entirely, other times we were asked “do you have a pass” and our answer wasn’t checked. One restaurant had come up with a clever way to detect police stings without requiring customers to actually present a pass. As expected, enforcement was stricter by larger firms, however even there we saw the following:

– Test certificates being checked once and then swapped for a token that doesn’t expire.
– Expired tests being accepted.
– People accepting paper test certificates without scanning them.
– Scanning tests and then not looking at the screen to see the results.
– Accepting QR codes that failed to scan.”

Hearn also reveals how mask mandates in theme parks and other venues are also not being followed, despite signs everywhere ordering people to cover their faces, while social distancing is also a “forgotten memory.”

Images showing empty cafes and bars on the first day the system was introduced may have spooked venues into taking a hands off approach.

In passing the law but failing to ensure that it is enforced, France is following the same model as Israel, where the point of introducing the system wasn’t really to enforce it, but merely as a means of bullying young people into getting the vaccine.

As we highlighted last week, despite the odious and draconian nature of the vaccine passport system, President Macron asserted that the it was actually introduced to protect people’s “freedom,” which is like saying putting you in prison is for your own safety.
