At 7 p.m., the ministry had identified 222 actions across the country. Sixteen people, including two in Paris, were arrested during these rallies and three members of the police were slightly injured, Beauvau said.
Last weekend, more than 175,000 demonstrators had been identified by the Ministry of the Interior, including 14,700 in Paris.

This “first estimate”, which will be refined on Sunday, also marks a drop compared to last weekend, with 357,100 people recorded. Overview of the main gatherings this Saturday.

Four processions in Paris
In the capital, several processions started in the early afternoon with cries of “freedom” or “resistance”. “I am not against the vaccine but against the vaccine passport,” said David Vidal Ponsard, a member of the Patriots movement of the former National Front Florian Philippot, who gathered his troops around the Military Academy.
“The vaccine is not the solution,” added Hélène Vierondeels, retired from National Education. “We should rather stop closing hospital beds, continue barrier gestures,” she continued in the midst of the tricolor flags waved by the demonstrators.

Asked about the dispute, the Minister of Health Olivier Véran assured this week that “the last reluctance is falling in the face of the success of the health pass”. This device, to be presented in bars, restaurants, long-distance transport or even hospitals, could be extended beyond November 15, the limit set by law, “if the Covid does not disappear from our lives”, warned The Minister.
In parallel with the demonstrations, 383,399 received a dose of anti-Covid vaccine this Saturday, according to figures from the Directorate General of Health.
