Under current law, French citizens must show proof they have received the COVID-19 vaccine or have a negative test to enter certain public spaces. The incident occurred right outside Claireaux\u2019s home on the island of Saint-Pierre-and-Miquelon, a French territory off the coast of Newfoundland.<\/p>\n<p>While the health pass has been in place in mainland France for quite some time, the requirement will begin on Saint-Pierre-and-Miquelon later this week.<\/p>\n<p>Claireaux <a href=\"https:\/\/www.france24.com\/en\/europe\/20220110-french-mp-pelted-with-seaweed-as-cases-of-violence-against-politicians-rise\">told media<\/a> that he went outside to his porch to address protesters gathered outside his home, but shortly into his conversation with the crowd, the protesters began flinging seaweed and dirt at him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a car loaded with seaweed\u2026 and people started chucking it at me. It was like being stoned,\u201d he said. \u201cMy wife came out to join me on the front step. I dodged a rock that missed our faces by five centimeters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are free to think that we\u2019re not making the right decisions. We\u2019re all getting death threats by email.
