“
On vaccines, the figures are stubborn.
When last Thursday, France had vaccinated 45,000 people, Germany had vaccinated 417,000 and Italy 307,000
”, remarks Gérard Larcher, who will be received on Monday January 11 in the morning in Matignon, at his request, with the group presidents, to evoke the health crisis.
“
I want the vaccination campaign to be successful.
We must enter into a partnership between the State, local authorities, health players
, ”he says.
"
I do not understand that a Prime Minister who uses the word '' territory '' 30 times in his speech of general policy is satisfied with centralized procedures, where everything is decided in the Defense Council, and with such a level of bureaucracy
», He adds.
He also considers "
superfluous
" the reform proposed by Emmanuel Macron concerning the inclusion in Article 1 of the Constitution that France "
guarantees the preservation of biodiversity and the environment and fight against climate change
".
"
The subject is too serious to '' take a shot"
", while"
the environmental charter introduced in 2004 by Jacques Chirac already has constitutional value
", he says.
He also claims to be "
unfavorable
" to the introduction of proportional representation in the legislative elections because this "would
further distance elected officials from their constituents
".
