According to data released by the French Ministry of the Interior, a total of 161,000 demonstrators participated in the parade in France, and 11,000 in Paris alone.

According to the new French regulations, from July 21st, all cultural and entertainment venues in the country with more than 50 people will begin to implement health pass regulations. The controversy caused by this regulation has not yet subsided. Faced with the accusations, the French Minister of Health emphasized in an interview recently: "We have no choice."

In response to this controversy, French President Macron stated on the 24th that vaccines are "weapons" and there is no freedom if you fail to fulfill your obligations. "If you infect your parents or me tomorrow, I will be a victim of your freedom. This is not freedom, it is Called irresponsibility and self-interest".

Italy has also promulgated a similar bill, which has also met with protests from the people.
