Sunday, 8 August 2021 (YJC)_ French President Emmanuel Macron, in a scathing and insulting criticism of the protesters, said he would not surrender.
"I will by no means succumb to their extreme violence," Macron, the French president, told Paris Match magazine. Their attitude is a threat to democracy. They connect everything.
Macron went on to describe the protesters as "stupid" and said: "Tens of thousands of people have lost their minds to the point where they can say we live in a dictatorship."
The French president also accused some unnamed politicians of being too lenient with the movement.
According to Bloomberg, anti-vaccine activists in France say the government's actions, which make vaccination almost mandatory, are cruel.
