REPORT – This day at 3:30 p.m., while the deputies continued the debates on the introduction of the vaccine pass, Rodolphe Bacquet tabled his petition in the National Assembly and in the Senate. He took the opportunity to improvise a press conference in front of the institution, which we attended.
Over a million signatures in the hands of Parliament
1,234,361 precisely, at the time of this writing. An impressive mobilization, which was formed in just over two weeks. ” The signatories are not only unvaccinated, there are also two or three dose vaccines. Because this petition is not against vaccines, but against the vaccine pass! Begins by emphasizing Mr. Bacquet. ” If we let this pass, it will not be temporary. There will be no return to normal life », He adds.
After taking the floor to explain his approach, the author of the petition had the opportunity to deliver it directly to Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, deputy for Essonne. After thanking Mr. Bacquet for his work, the president of “Debout la France” assured him that he would speak about it in the hemicycle. Which he did, around 5:30 p.m. ” I remind the Assembly that there are more than 1.2 million French people who have signed the petition against the vaccine pass He said, pointing to the printed document. ” It is to avoid a Chinese control society that we are opposed to this text. “, He continued before being cut off by the usual” Thank you Mr. ».
If Nicolas Dupont-Aignan kept his word, the presentation of the document clearly did not cause much noise among the representatives of the nation. Moreover, he was not showing great optimism two hours earlier, when he received the petition in person: ” It will be an honor for me to present this petition. But I do not expect a parliamentary burst. Democracy no longer exists. »
“When you sign a petition, it’s because you’re ready to get involved”
The government is working hard, ” we had to act in the urgency of the situation », Assured us Mr. Bacquet. This is why, among other complications, he had avoided sending the petition through the website of the National Assembly. For the same reason, he was only able to have the signatures checked by the technicians of the Les Lignes Bougent site which hosts the petition, but not by a lawyer, nor by the CNIL.
It is therefore a safe bet that Parliament will choose to simply ignore the petition, or in any case its substantive subject, not being legally forced to put it under consideration. On the other hand, perhaps they will keep the first and last names of the signatories, printed in small format at the beginning of the document.
Hearing the recent words of Emmanuel Macron with regard to the unvaccinated, when he claims to have ” very want to piss them off “, Should we be concerned about the possible use of this personal information? ” I still hope that our elected officials are not criminals! And then you know, when you sign a petition, you have to expect the information to be read, which is what guarantees its quality. It’s a form of engagement », Rodolphe Bacquet replied simply.
