Almost a quarter of a million people took to the streets across France on Saturday for the biggest protests yet against a coronavirus health pass needed to enter a cafe or travel on an inter-city train....

Protestors hold French flag and flags with the cross of Lorraine during a demonstration, part of a national day of protest against the mandatory Covid-19 health pass to access most of the public space, near Ecole Militaire in Paris on August 7, 2021. – A valid health pass is generated by two jabs from a recognised vaccine, a negative coronavirus test or a recent recovery from infection and has been validated for cafes and restaurants by the Constitutional Council on August 5, 2021.

About 237,000 people turned out across France, including 17,000 in Paris, the interior ministry said, exceeding the 204,000 recorded last weekend — unusual numbers for protests at the height of the summer break. “The problem with the health pass is that our hand is being forced,” said the marketing employee, adding he “really has difficulty believing its use will be temporary”.

Most of the protests were peaceful but there were seven arrests in the southeastern city of Lyon for throwing projectiles while in Dijon a tram line was blocked. There were 35 arrests nationwide, the interior ministry said, adding seven members of the security forces were lightly wounded. The Le Monde daily said Macron’s decision to show no patience with the protesters carried risks, even for a leader who appears to thrive on confrontation as during the 2018-2019 “yellow vest” protests.Protests in Italy
