Anti-vaccine passport protesters in France invaded a mall on Saturday and raised slogans of ‘freedom’. Visuals of the protests have gone viral on the internet where law enforcement authorities can be spotted retreating before the march of the citizens.
Freelance journalist Clement Lanot shared visuals of the protests on his Twitter account which show a tense confrontation between law enforcement authorities and protesters. The protesters invaded the Chalet shopping center that reportedly requires vaccine passports for people to enter. One video shows protesters chanting ‘freedom’ in French.
« LIBERTÉ ! »

Emmanuel Macron decreed that vaccines be made mandatory for health workers and also ordered that vaccine passports would be required to access public spaces.
Since then, the protests have spread to Australia where citizens have taken to the streets to oppose tyrannical policies implemented by the governments.
