The deputy for Saint-Pierre And Miquelon was attacked in front of his home during demonstrations against his support for vaccine passports.
The deputy, Stéphane Claireux, left his home to talk to the demonstrators. The latter then threw dozens of projectiles at him, as seen in a video tweeted by the Minister of the Sea, Annick Girardin, for which Stéphane Claireaux was the deputy during the last legislative elections.
For several months, attacks or threats against elected officials have been increasing, in particular against the majority deputies who support the health measures taken by the government. Faced with the resurgence of threats against these deputies, a referent was appointed at the end of November within the services of the National Assembly to “collect reports” and “to advise“elected officials in their possible steps. The Minister of the Interior also asked the prefects a few days ago to strengthen the protection of elected officials”in the context of the examination of the vaccine pass bill“.
Saturday, January 8, a few days after the adoption of the vaccine pass by the National Assembly, the anti-pass demonstrations were followed by around 100,000 demonstrators across France, a figure which shows the remobilization of opponents of the health measures taken by the government.
