It will probably be a question of adapting to a worrying health context.
Between the propagation of the fifth wave and the arrival in France of the Omicron variant, the candidates running for 2022 already expect to have to adapt their events.
For Valérie Pécresse, there is thus "
no question of having a meeting without a health pass
".
"It will depend on the health situation"
Despite the will of the president of Île-de-France, making access to a public meeting conditional on the pass should not however be possible for her. In a decision of November 9, the Constitutional Council indeed recalled that the document cannot be required "
for access to polling stations or to political meetings and activities
", for the sake of preserving democratic life.
Valérie Pécresse will in any case rely on the advice of Philippe Juvin, doctor and former competitor who ensured his rallying in the in-between rounds.
The candidate also ensures that she will monitor "
with great attention the evolution of the Covid crisis
".
So much so that the Republicans' meeting, scheduled for December 11 and supposed to officially launch their campaign, could be called into question.

"
It will depend on the health situation
", repeated the elected, specifying that decisions will be taken "
in the coming hours
" to know "how
we organize, or not, the meeting of December 11
". With a compass: "
never
" to put "
the health of the French in danger
".
While a large gathering is also planned this Sunday, December 5 at La Défense around Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the leader of the Insoumis has also called for responsibility.
No cancellation or obligation of the health pass - "
it is forbidden and it is illegal to claim it
", he recalled -, but a recommendation "
to everyone to bring their mask, to respect barrier gestures
”.
"
It is not such a big effort (...), it is the minimum of discipline
", argued the candidate.
