The anti vaccination movement in France was very active towards the end of 2021. The demonstrators objected to the perceived aim of the government to make vaccination obligatory.
Freedom of choice was a recurring theme at these demonstrations.
The gilets jaunes or yellow vest movement was present at the manifestations which became general protests against the government and especially the president Emmanuel Macron.
The gendarmerie mobile in full riot gear was deployed to ensure peaceful protest.
All demonstrators, especially French ones, need to be fed!
