the dispute could arrive in France

For more than ten days, Ottawa (Canada) has been almost under siege. Opposed to the health measures in force in the country, hundreds of truckers massed in the streets of the capital where they honked and demonstrated, in particular against the vaccination obligation imposed on drivers. “I am here against the government’s abuse of power. The fact that they can interfere and control our lives. Including what goes into our body with vaccines or where we can go depending on the choices we have made“, explains one of them.

Is a translation of this phenomenon in France possible? Everything seems to indicate that it is: for example, a Facebook group called Le convoy de la liberté already has nearly 270,000 members. Their objective ? Converge on Paris first, before heading to Brussels where the European institutions sit, Monday February 14, in order to protest against health measures. But also “against the pass, against energy taxes“, explains, in a video, one of the members of the group. In Hungary, the Netherlands and New Zealand, the Canadian movement has already been emulated and seems to be taking root.
