The National Assembly approves the health bill on the covid 19 pandemic but it is a planed text. The key article on the possible return of a health pass at the borders and for travel with overseas territories and Corsica, is rejected.
This first text of the new legislature was examined in first reading at the Palais Bourbon. This is the first illustration of the government’s difficulty in maneuvering with a relative majority. The deputies therefore voted in majority against article 2 of the bill. Article rejected by 219 votes against 195.
In a tweet, the president of the LFI group in the National Assembly, Mathilde Panot, welcomed this vote: “Sanitary pass in the trash. The time of playmobil is over” she wrote.
Elisabeth Borne
The text must now be examined in the Senate. Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, wrote in a tweet this night that she will fight “so that the spirit of responsibility prevails in the senate” because “the situation is serious“castigating LFI, LR and the RN.
