The French president no longer mince his words vis-à-vis the unvaccinated. With the vaccination pass, he wants to make them react, even punish them.
In an interview dedicated to the newspaper The Parisian Tuesday, January 4, Emmanuel Macron spoke out virulently on the case of the unvaccinated against covid-19. No more question of understanding, now the fight against the spread of the virus goes above the claims of the French who do not wish to be vaccinated.
The interview in question shocked the public because Emmanuel Macron was very hostile towards people who refuse vaccination campaigns. “The unvaccinated, I really want to piss them off (…) So we will continue to do it, until the end, that’s the strategy”, he announced point blank.
If the French president does not wish to make vaccination compulsory, he intends to isolate the unvaccinated by depriving them of certain activities.
“I’m not going to put them in jail, I’m not going to forcibly vaccinate them. And so, you have to tell them: from January 15, you will no longer be able to go to the restaurant, you will no longer be able to take a cannon, you will no longer be able to go for a coffee, you will no longer be able to go to the theater, you will no longer be able to take a cannon. no longer going to the movies“, he estimated.
From January 15, 2022, the government wants to transform the health pass into a vaccination pass. This means that now to practice certain activities or take public transport such as the train, it will be necessary to be vaccinated. Presentation of a negative screening test will no longer be recognized.
The debate on the vaccine pass interrupted at the National Assembly
Emmanuel Macron’s words had immediate consequences. While the deputies are currently debating the implementation of the vaccine pass, the interview with the French president was invited into the hemicycle.
The opposition strongly criticized this intervention and some deputies asked Jean Castex to come immediately to explain this interview. Opposition MPs have expressed concern about the presidential intention behind the introduction of the vaccine pass. Does this project aim to protect the French against covid-19 or to punish the unvaccinated, one wonders in the hemicycle.
In view of the tense situation between the deputies and the members of the government, Marc Le Fur vice-president of the National Assembly decided to interrupt the debate on the night of January 4 or 5. The deputies should meet today to discuss the bill on the health pass in a more serene atmosphere.
