Julien Odoul, the spokesperson for the National Gathering and president of the RN group at the Regional Council of Bourgogne Franche-Comté, was the guest of 8:30 am franceinfo, Thursday, December 30, 2021. He answered questions from Céline Asselot and Jean-François Achilli.
“The health pass is useless”
While Olivier Véran evoked a “tidal wave” on Wednesday with a record of 200,000 Covid-19 contaminations in 24 hours, Julien Odoul declares: “the only tidal wave that worries me is that of verbal violence by the Minister of Health against unvaccinated French people”. The spokesperson for the National Rally accuses the Minister of Health of lying about the share of the unvaccinated in the intensive care units. “I looked at the figures from the DRESS and from November 8 to December 5, in critical care there are 48% of French people vaccinated”, he asserts. According to him the “health pass is useless and a fortiori the vaccination pass either.”
An “instrumentalisation” of the crisis by the government
For Julien Odoul, the return of the mandatory mask wearing outdoors, as will be the case on Friday in Paris for example “no use” : “It’s a measure that might make us laugh if it weren’t so bad.” To less than four months of the presidential election, the president of the RN group at the Regional Council of Burgundy Franche-Comté accuses denounces “an instrumentalisation of the government to make this crisis last for political and electoral purposes.”
Against variants, “border control”
What action would Marine Le Pen take in the face of this 5th wave of Covid-19 if she were in power? “She would not engage the vaccination pass, would go back on the health pass and put the means on the public hospital”, answers Julien Odoul. The spokesperson for the RN believes that it is also necessary “stop the spread of variants with border control”.
