It’s the other little sentence, less noticed, but just as controversial. In his interview with the readers of Parisian, published on Tuesday January 4, the President of the Republic did not only assume his “desire” “to piss off the French”. He also estimated that unvaccinated people were “irresponsible”. “When my freedom threatens that of others, I become irresponsible. An irresponsible person is no longer a citizen”, did he declare.

Although it was less noticed, this statement also elicited a procession of outraged reactions. “After the deprivation of nationality, the deprivation of citizenship”, reacted the deputy La France rebellious Clémentine Autain on Twitter.
“An irresponsible person is no longer a citizen”. President Macron therefore considers that 5 million French people are no longer citizens. After the deprivation of nationality, the deprivation of citizenship!

Eric Ciotti, adviser to the candidate Les Républicains Valérie Pécresse, drew up a comparison with the forfeiture of nationality for terrorists, debated in 2016 under François Hollande. “In 2016, Emmanuel Macron refused the forfeiture of nationality for Islamist terrorists based on the fact that everyone is a citizen. There, the unvaccinated would be more dangerous than terrorists”, he declared on France Inter.
