EU France is on fire. Again.

[Zachowon]

Too soon to say.

[Arlos]

Really?

Yes, need to wait until things settle down before we can tell who benefited from this, it could go any number of way.

I've checked for other sources to the above and I could only find it on some sites I've never heard of before and one was a Word Press so I don't know how truthful it is.

It doesn't seem to be true from what I can find. There's only one source for it and the article itself seems to have been rebutted in French.

The Republican Guard who protects the president has retired. Will no longer assure the protection of the president. Absolutely incredible. There exists other systems of protection. But the message it sends is very symbolic. It reassures the people. But demonstrates where we have arrived.

Loose translation based on my rusty french.

 

[Jormungandr]

...Yeah, if this were just two hundred years ago, I'd fully expect Macron's head to be on a pike right now. Literally, I mean.

He might just get that fate soon enough; if not in fact then in symbolism.

At least I hope so...France could be a trendsetter for what needs to be done. Let's just hope we avoid a new Reign of Terror.

 

[JagerIV]

So, did the French have one week of protest and then everyone went back to ignoring them? I haven't seen any sign that they're changing course on, well, anything.

They're still going on -- I've heard anecdotally that things are started to get heated in Germany too, but I've no source for that -- but MSM has gone full on black-out on it, basically.

Also, the Olympics. I've heard basically fuck all about them, despite the BBC actively covering them on both channels. It genuinely looks like no one gives a shit.

This is the kind of stuff that could propel non establishment news channels like GBNews if they'd cover it.

French Constitutional Court rules health pass, mandatory vaccination of health workers constitutional amid nationwide protests

French Constitutional Court rules health pass, mandatory vaccination of health workers constitutional amid nationwide protests

France’s Constitutional Court has ruled that the new law that makes the coronavirus ‘health pass’ mandatory for the general public, and vaccination compulsory for healthcare professionals, to be in line with the constitution.

France’s Constitutional Court has ruled that the new law that makes the coronavirus ‘health pass’ mandatory for the general public, and vaccination compulsory for healthcare professionals, to be in line with the constitution.

France’s top court ruled on Thursday that the new legislation, which tightens the coronavirus restrictions, is largely compliant with the nation’s fundamental law. In particular, the court upheld the provisions that require people to hold a valid ‘health pass’ to access restaurants and bars, and for healthcare workers to be vaccinated against the virus by mid-September.

At the same time, the court considered it to be unconstitutional to fire a healthcare worker on a short-term contract who refuses mandatory Covid vaccination. It also rejected a provision allowing mandatory quarantine with checks for anyone who tests positive for the virus.

The constitutional review of the legislation was requested by Prime Minister Jean Castex, as well as by multiple opposition lawmakers before the law’s enactment scheduled for next Monday.

The controversial legislation was put forward by the French government in July, triggering heated debate and mass protests across the country. Last weekend, over 200,000 people marched through towns and cities across the country protesting the bill, which they say discriminates against the unvaccinated and tramples on individual freedoms.

The government, however, maintains that the main purpose of the legislation is to speed up the mass-vaccination campaign and encourage people to get the shot, rejecting allegations of a slide into “dictatorship.”

“A few tens of thousands of people have lost their minds to such an extent that they are capable of saying we live in a dictatorship,” President Emmanuel Macron told Paris Match in an interview published Wednesday.

French firefighters’ & hospital unions declare strikes against ‘unconstitutional’ vaccination mandate

French firefighters’ & hospital unions declare strikes against ‘unconstitutional’ vaccination mandate

Two French unions have called for strikes against the compulsory vaccination of firefighters, healthcare workers, and caregivers. They say the measure violates fundamental rights.

Two French unions have called for strikes against the compulsory vaccination of firefighters, healthcare workers, and caregivers. They say the measure violates fundamental rights.

One of the leading French firefighters’ unions, FA/SPP-PATS, which boasts 7,000 members, said it will go on strike starting Monday unless changes are made to the recent law on compulsory vaccination of certain employees.

“The obligatory vaccination of firefighters under [the threat] of penalty violates the constitution,” the union said in a statement.
“Our union does not oppose vaccination,” the organization’s spokesperson, Andre Goretti, told BFM TV. “But the conditions, under which it is being imposed on the professional level, with [the threat of] financial and other sanctions – that’s where we disagree.”

The hospital and caregivers’ union, SUD Sante Sociaux, also called for a strike and protests against the measure which it labelled “a new attack on labor law.”

According to the legislation, which was approved by parliament late last month, firefighters, medical workers, caregivers, and certain soldiers have until September 15 to get vaccinated or face sanctions. The controversial provision containing the vaccination mandate will be examined by the country’s Constitutional Council on Thursday.

The government has been pushing the population to get vaccinated in greater numbers amid the spread of the more contagious Delta variant of the virus.

Starting from August 9, people will be barred from restaurants, cafes, and long-distance transportation unless they have a health pass. The pass is already required for museums, cinemas, and other cultural venues with a capacity of more than 50 people.

These restrictions, along with the vaccination mandate, sparked protests across the country. More than 200,000 people participated in demonstrations across France on Saturday.

A group of uniformed firefighters was seen marching in a protest column in the southern city of Nice on Saturday, where around 6,500 people rallied against the government’s restrictive Covid-19 response.

Charles-Ange Ginesy, the head of the Alpes-Maritimes region and president of the regional firefighters’ board of directors, told BFM TV that he was “very disappointed” after seeing uniformed firefighters participating in a protest.

“The right to protest is a right that belongs to each of us. On the other hand, they wore their uniforms, which surprised me a lot,” the official said, expressing hope that “the controller-general will be able to make them understand that such attitude should not be repeated.”

The procedure is underway, during which we look at how these firefighters, who had probably acted out of clumsiness, will be able to return to reason.

Only a group of 20 to 30 marched with the protesters, compared to the 3,800 firefighters in the region, Ginesy said.

French civil servants are typically bound by the ‘duty of reserve’, meaning they must show restraint and moderation when expressing person opinions.

The firefighters’ union spokesperson, Andre Goretti, meanwhile, defended his colleagues. “There are individual choices that are not put to question by our union,” he said. “It is an expression of a citizen. A firefighter – before being a professional firefighter – is a citizen.”

Authorities have made several concessions following the outrage, such as lowering the fines for businesses that do not check for health passes.

@Arlos buddy,hope everything is good where you at

 

[Lord Sovereign]

Well, the 5th Republic had a good run. Lasted roughly as long as the 3rd.

Yeah. I know it's a joke that the French riot all the time, but the intensity and heat of these protests makes me think this isn't just going o be another phase but another "drag them out and lynch the current government in the streets" Republic-ender we've seen from history.

I mean, fuck, they had Macron altered to look like Hitler on a billboard. I also find it darkly amusing that it's the fucking French who are standing up to Western government tyranny now (in the context that governments are using COVID to try to have a Chinese-like control over its people).
