On the night of January 3 to 4, the examination of the bill transforming the health pass into a vaccination pass was the subject of a surprise suspension by the Assembly. A majority of deputies voted by show of hands against continuing the debates after midnight.
If this decision, extremely rare, caused a noisy joy of the deputies of the opposition, it will especially derail the schedule of adoption of the text by the Parliament.
Indeed, this bill was initially to be examined in the National Assembly on Monday January 3, before arriving before the Senate tomorrow, January 5. Its entry into force was set for January 15.
“A friendly form of irresponsibility”
Faced with such a surprise, Gabriel Attal, government spokesperson, denounced at the microphone of France Inter “a form of friendship of irresponsibility to be formed with the deputies of La France insoumise, of the National Rassemblement and the LR deputies, for take a procedural step, to try to derail the schedule for the adoption of the vaccine pass ”.
If he believes that the oppositions have “clearly succeeded”, Gabriel Attal reiterated the intention of the government to go to the end of this project, “as close as possible to the schedule which was planned”.
A recovery expected this Tuesday
In the continuity of the remarks made by Gabriel Attal, CNEWS learned that the conference of the presidents of parliamentary groups of the National Assembly must meet at 12:30 pm to decide on a new calendar of the debates. The resumption of the examination of the bill would be scheduled this Tuesday at the end of the day, or tomorrow, according to corroborating sources.
In a letter addressed to the deputies of the majority, the secretariat of the group La République en Marche called for a strong mobilization of elected officials to face “the oppositions that will be mobilized”.
