Back to the starting point. The National Assembly voted on the night of Wednesday 3 to Thursday 4 November the bill of “health vigilance”, restoring in particular the possibility of resorting to the health pass until July 31, 2022, a date that the Senate had brought back to February 28.
The text was approved by 147 votes to 125 and two abstentions, at the end of a new reading which restores the text, profoundly modified last week by the upper house, in the direction desired by the government.
147 votes in favor, 125 against: at a little more than 3 am, the deputies adopted for new reading the bill of “health vigilance”, which makes it possible to resort to #PassSanitary until July 31, 2022 if the situation so requires.#DirectAN pic.twitter.com/cmwtgsKIFN

After this meeting at the Palais Bourbon, the senators must again work on the text later in the day Thursday. The National Assembly must have the last word on Friday during a final reading. Some 500 amendments, coming largely from the benches of LR but also from the left, hostile to the government’s bill, were examined during an often stormy marathon session that began early Wednesday afternoon, which took place ended around 3 a.m.
The main dispute concerned the possibility of using the health pass until July 31, which the Senate, dominated by the right, had reduced to February 28. The senators, like the oppositions of right and left at the Palais Bourbon, denounce a “blank check” given to the government over a period that “spans” presidential and legislative elections.
