While Emmanuel Macron said in Le Parisien wanting “piss off“the unvaccinated, the debates continued on January 5 in Parliament. These remarks rekindled tensions within the Assembly which had to suspend the debates on the vaccination pass.

The Prime Minister, Jean Castex, is decidedly on all political fronts. And this, whether in the National Assembly or in the Senate, after the shocking remarks of the President of the Republic against unvaccinated people. The opposition showed its indignation after the words of the President of the Republic:No health emergency justifies words of such brutality“, declared Bruno Rétailleau, president of the LR group in the Senate.

Who outraged? Who insults the nation? Which leads our caregivers to make choices […] It’s not insulting anyone, it’s reality“, defended Jean Castex. Since then, the debates are more than tense within the hemicycle, leading to repeated suspensions in full examination of the vaccination pass. L‘opposition demands an apology for the remarks made by Emmanuel Macron and regrets that Prime Minister Jean Castex sides with the President of the Republic.
