A few months after her controversial exit on vaccination, the presidential candidate returned to the health pass, which must


A first radio interview in the form of clarification.

Invited to the morning show of France Inter this Tuesday, January 18 as a presidential candidate, Christiane Taubira returned to several sensitive subjects.

Among them, the popular primary from the left and the health pass, a few months after his controversial exit on vaccination.

“I never had any doubts about vaccination.

There was a specific situation, of tension in Guyana, with a high administration which aggravated a situation of mistrust.

What I was asking for was mediation.

I have never stopped saying that vaccination is the answer that protects us, ”she insisted on Tuesday at the microphone.

Asked in September about the fact that she was not calling on Guyanese to get vaccinated, she replied: "I am a political leader who is not in office and who therefore does not have the information that would formally allow him either to give instructions, or to consider that in view of this information I consider that I am making a responsible statement".

Regarding the health pass, the former Keeper of the Seals decides.

A month ago, on December 18, visiting the Ile-de-France town of Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis) the day after her video where she said she was "considering" a candidacy in 2022, Christiane Taubira had wished that the Parliament “plays its role”, without saying precisely if it was for or against.

“I am in the dynamic of the gathering”

“The vaccine pass is not a problem for me, she replied on Tuesday at the microphone. What I have a problem with is entrusting citizens, restaurateurs, shopkeepers with checking the identity of their fellow citizens. I was Keeper of the Seals, the question of individual freedoms, and the question of responsibility pose problems for me. But the health pass is not a problem for me ”.

In his sights, however, the management of the crisis by the President.

“The pandemic has shown us that there is no public health policy here.

Faced with this pandemic, the President of the Republic, who wants to fight everything, has decided to set up a Defense Council.

Scientific and public health advice would undoubtedly have been more relevant.

It is a major pandemic, it is difficult to overcome, there are important decisions to be made, ”stormed the former Minister of Justice.

Christiane Taubira: “I am a candidate for the presidency of the Republic”

While the popular primary has just crossed the bar of 250,000 registered for the “investiture” vote, will Christiane Taubira comply with the results as she had announced?

The answer is less clear this time.

“We'll see what comes out of Primary.

I am in the dynamic of the rally, I assume the democratic risks, and I do it openly, ”she eludes.

.@ChTaubira: “The logic of the primary is not to go home for the losers, it is to organize as a team around the choice made by the voters. It is a logic of gathering. "
