On the weekend, thousands of anti-lockdown and anti-vaccination activists took to the streets of cities all over the world to protest new restrictive measures and the vaccine passport initiatives.
Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of French cities for the second week in a row. According to French Interior Ministry, a total of 161,000 people took part in 168 protest actions across France, including 11,000 demonstrated in Paris alone.
Massive demonstrations led to clashes with law enforcement officers, who were forced to use tear gas and water cannon to disperse the crowds.
At the same time, two other protests took place in Paris. Members of a major anti-government movement of Yellow Jackets and supporters of the Eurosceptic ‘Patriots’ party were also present on the streets.
At least nine people were detained in Paris following the clashes, according to the French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin.

No surprises here. TikTok guy at the #SydneyLockdown protest giving a speech at Town Hall, calling himself the people’s premier and demanding freedom. Makes me feel sick thinking how many people now follow him and the platform he’s built. #COVID19nsw pic.twitter.com/PKjD94C3Da
