The atmosphere was tense to say the least in the National Assembly. This Monday, January 3, while Richard Ferrand was replaced after contracting Covid-19, the deputies examined the bill transforming the health pass into a vaccination pass. During this first day of debates, Olivier Véran expressed his annoyance several times. From the podium of the Assembly, the Minister of Health did not hesitate to attack Jean-Luc Mélenchon, whom he criticized for having “lied“on several occasions since the start of the health crisis. While the founder of La France Insoumise has denounced a company”totalitarian and authoritarian“and called for a motion to reject the text, the ex of Coralie Dubost was quick to respond.
“I regret to tell you that in the past, you were so wrong that it is difficult today to pay the same attention to yourself when expressing yourself“Said the Minister of Health, before detailing his point.”You mentioned this ‘Pfizer thing’ that you would never get, but I believe you got your third dose of Pfizer mr. You questioned the quality of clinical studies that have been validated around the world. You spoke about the opacity of the laboratories which would not have published the data to international agencies, which was false. You lied by asserting that it was Doctolib who was going to manage vaccination centers while he takes care of making appointments in the centers. You are going to lie by claiming that companies like Doctolib would keep French data and use it for commercial reasons, which is wrong“, got annoyed Olivier Véran facing Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

Olivier Véran compares Jean-Luc Mélenchon to Donald Trump
At the platform of the National Assembly, Olivier Véran nonetheless recalled that “The error is human” : “I was taught a proverb: ‘To err is human, to persevere is diabolical’“, tackled the Minister of Health, who wondered about”the intentions“from the former MEP:”Unless your intention is not a health intention. Maybe you are aiming to catch the attention of part of the protesting population a little, who does not want the vaccine, who does not want the pass, and perhaps you call them to join you under your banner (…) You are not the only one to wave this banner: there is M. Dupont -Aignan, there is Mrs Le Pen, there is Mr Philippe“, declared Olivier Véran, before comparing Jean-Luc Mélenchon to Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro : “You pretend to be someday President of the Republic, you are taking an example from two very bad presidents, the only ones who have refused all restrictive measures and health management, Mr. Bolsonaro in Brazil and Mr. Trump in the United States“, he concluded.
