Decidedly, it is now written that nothing will go as planned with the examination of the bill supposed to introduce the vaccine pass. Rarely has the atmosphere been so electric at the Palais Bourbon. This is the direct consequence of the interview granted by the President of the Republic to our readers, published Tuesday evening on our website.
The elected representatives of the opposition did not support the words of Emmanuel Macron, addressed to the French who have to date still not received a single dose of vaccine. “The unvaccinated, I really want to piss them off”, assured Emmanuel Macron in our columns.
What once again upset the debates in the Assembly, disturbed this night by several suspensions of session. Discussions, already very tense on the vaccine pass, were very quickly overshadowed by the presidential words.
The deputies demand the arrival of Jean Castex
“A president cannot keep the remarks which were made”, launched Christian Jacob, president of the Republicans. “I cannot support a text which aims to piss off the French”. For his part, the communist Fabien Roussel, candidate for the presidential election, questioned “the real intentions of the government”. The bill on the health pass “is it a text to piss off more? or less piss off? The French, he asked.
And the tablets of the National Assembly slammed when Olivier Véran took the microphone. The Minister of Health, questioned by the Communists, then hammered under boos the interest of vaccination. He was finally cut off by the chairman, deeming the situation untenable. The meeting was then suspended for the second consecutive time. The elected representatives of the opposition ended up asking for explanations by demanding the arrival of Prime Minister Jean Castex. “We have been waiting for 1h30 … it’s Incredible, an experience that I had not had since my first mandate in 2007,” says LR deputy Philippe Gosselin. The guarantor of the unity of the Nation should not make such remarks, it is not worthy of the presidential office. It’s institutionalized provocation, ”he continues. In the meantime, at 1:30 am, the debates were still at a standstill.
