In the background, the popular fed up after nearly three years of strict zero Covid policy – with repeated confinements and now almost daily PCR tests of the inhabitants – but also deep frustrations vis-à-vis the political system.

Four organizations are calling for strikes and demonstrations, notably at 11 a.m. in Paris, in front of the Ministry of Health. Rallies are announced in other cities, in front of regional health agencies (ARS) or hospitals. These unions denounce an “abandonment of public psychiatry” which “is characterized on a daily basis by the glaring lack of full hospital beds and regular closures of medico-psychological centers”.
The challenge to the line followed by FIFA and the policy of Qatar was invited during a World Cup match. A man carrying a rainbow flag and wearing a T-shirt in support of Iranian women and Ukraine walked onto the pitch at the Lusail Stadium in Doha on Monday during the match between Portugal and Ukraine. Uruguay. In the 52nd minute of the match, after running across the pitch for about 30 seconds in front of the players without reacting, this young man was tackled to the ground by a steward and then calmly escorted by security out of the stadium. It is the first time that a match has been marked by such intrusion since the start of the World Cup organized in Qatar, in the face of Western criticism of the treatment of LGBT + people. Homosexuality is liable to criminal prosecution, even the death penalty if the “guilty” are Muslims.
