Over 100-thousand French residents have united to protest against the introduction of a new coronavirus pass

If enacted, the proposed legislation would prevent unvaccinated people from participating in most forms of public life.

Throughout the capital city of Paris, demonstrators held placards and chanted.

Officials have confirmed that 34 people have been arrested… whilst 10 police officers were injured following some protests turning violent.

The bill has passed its first reading in Parliament… and will remove the current option of showing a negative Covid-19 test to gain access to a variety of public venues.

The government says it expects the new rules to come into force on 15 January… but this date could be pushed back if the bill faces opposition in the Senate.
