When the government turns into a remake of the “fires of love” … Emmanuel Macron and his ministers are on the verge of war for these last months of the five-year term. Their most urgent enemies? The interminable health crisis and the dreaded Omicron variant. Wednesday, December 29, Olivier Véran went to the Palais Bourbon to present the bill for the vaccination pass to the deputies.
