While the National Assembly will study in committee from this Tuesday the bill on new health rules presented on Monday in the Council of Ministers, the Socialist deputies and senators have just voted for “compulsory vaccination” and against “the health pass as proposed by the government ”. Their objective is to avoid that “half the population controls the other half of the population”.
In a joint press release published Monday evening, these parliamentarians also indicate that if the government maintains the extension of the pass, they will seize the Constitutional Council, like the senatorial right and LFI deputies. For the moment, the text provides for the compulsory vaccination of caregivers and the extension of the health pass for all to cafes, restaurants or trains.
PS targets October 1 for compulsory vaccination
“Faced with the progression of the variant which poses the risk of re-containment, it seems important to us to take a new step with compulsory vaccination against Covid unless there is a medical contraindication. We propose that this obligation be progressive and enter into force on October 1, ”advocate the PS groups in the Assembly and the Senate, led by Valérie Rabault and Patrick Kanner. The government “wants to ask restaurateurs, cafetiers, traders or volunteers who organize demonstrations to ensure controls for which it is not their mission”, or “in any democracy, these controls fall to the State”, they judge.
During the debates in Parliament on the bill, which must be definitively adopted by the weekend, “we will defend this position of responsibility which aims to protect the health and freedom of all, without transforming our country. in a state of permanent control ”, add the Socialists. Debates in Parliament should therefore be lively for the government.
