LIVE: Parisians protest on Bastille Day following Macron’s COVID vaccination speech

Ruptly is live from Paris on Wednesday, July 14, as Parisians gather for a protest on Bastille Day following the speech on COVID-19 restrictions and vaccination delivered by President Emmanuel Macron the day before. During the speech Macron strongly encouraged the French to get vaccinated as soon as possible and promised harsh restrictions for those who would not do it. Macron’s words provoked a rapid jump in the number of vaccination appointment bookings the next day, but also drew criticism from several groups, including the Yellow Vests.
