So here he is, abruptly delivering his strategy: health pass, paid test for the unvaccinated, and, from mid-January, vaccination pass. Each time, the pincers close on those who refuse the vaccination. An assumed objective: “The unvaccinated, I really want to piss them off.

Moreover, the Head of State returns to the charge a little later in the interview, this time against the anti-vax, accused of “undermine the strength of a nation”. “When my freedom threatens that of others, I become irresponsible, considers the president. An irresponsible person is no longer a citizen “.
“He is going strong but we must name the evil. Our electorate is 100% pro-vax and does not include the unvaccinated.”
