Vaccination pass, sponsorships for the presidential election. .. She answers questions from Ersin Leibowitch and Myriam Encaoua.
Vaccination pass: the text “could be applicable from the end of the week”
The bill transforming the health pass into a vaccination pass “will normally be definitively adopted tomorrow, so it could be applicable from the end of the week”, believes Yaël Braun-Pivet. The deputies adopted the controversial text at second reading, overnight from Friday to Saturday. Debates continue in the Senate on Saturday, January 15.
Children under 16 will remain subject to the health pass. “We have made the choice to have consistency with regard to vaccination”, justifies the deputy LREM. “From the age of 16, they vaccinate themselves, and therefore the vaccination pass is applicable to them. Below the age of 16, they still depend on the authorization of one of the two parents, and we have made the choice in conscience to consider that it was not necessary to impose constraints on them more than reason.”
Sponsorships: “This democratic victimization is really tiresome”
Several presidential candidates, including Éric Zemmour and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, say they are struggling to collect the 500 signatures needed to stand in the presidential election. “This democratic victimization is really tiresome, reacts Yaël Braun-Pivet. If you are not able to collect 500 signatures from a pool of 42,000 elected officials, how are you going to govern France peacefully? This filter is the least bad solution and works very well”, says the MP.
“I defend this rule because we need a filter for the presidential election, which is not just any election”, is justified the president of the commission of the Laws. “History has shown that no political current has ever been absent from a presidential election for lack of sponsorship. The candidates are very numerous, they still have time to find their sponsorship”, she concludes.
