INFO EUROPE 1
Mobilization day tomorrow for the antipass. According to the intelligence services, between 28,750 and 38,500 people are likely to demonstrate Saturday across France to protest against the vaccine pass. Possible tensions are announced in Toulouse, Nantes, Metz, Rennes, Nancy …
A renewed participation
The controversial sentence of Emmanuel Macron, who intends to “piss off” the unvaccinated French, will it have direct consequences, visible in the street? According to our information, the intelligence services see a tremor of renewed participation in the demonstrations planned for this Saturday, in comparison to the last mobilizations before the Christmas holidays. “After a two-week truce, opponents of health measures seem determined to take to the streets,” notes a police source. On the whole of the territory, the first projections count on the presence of 28,750 to 38,500 people in the demonstrations opposed to the implementation of the vaccine pass.
In detail, in Paris between 8,750 and 13,500 people are likely to parade in the ranks of the procession of the Patriots, the political party of Florian Philippot. Between 8,000 and 12,000 people are announced in this event between Palais Royal and Place Vauban. Other processions of yellow vests or militant conspirators should swell these ranks.
Tensions announced
In the provinces, 144 actions are planned. In total, the central territorial intelligence service foresees 20,000 to 25,000 people likely to mobilize. Tensions, with violent individuals, could arise in the cities of Toulouse, Nantes, Rennes, Metz or even Nancy.
These intelligence estimates allow Place Beauvau to best calibrate the distribution of mobile force units to be deployed this Saturday. According to our information, the police force should be “muscular” this Saturday, with 18 mobile force units just for Paris. With a major difficulty: to avoid the image which would be taken up on social networks by antivax which would mediate the idea that the State is physically attacking demonstrators.
The last Saturday of mobilization dates back to December 11, 2021, before the Christmas holidays, when 20,646 demonstrators, including 4,220 in Paris, had been counted by the Ministry of the Interior. Nothing to do with the first demonstrations in the heart of last summer, opposed to the extension of the health pass where 204,090 people, including 14,250 in Paris, took to the streets as an example on July 31, 2021.
