Has he warned?
Accused of not having contacted the people he attended before being detected positive for Covid-19, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, leader of Debout la France, candidate for the presidential election, rejects any deviation from the health protocol.
If he was diagnosed positive for Covid-19, before leaving for the weekend, the rest is nothing but “slander”, he said on Monday.
He thus disputes an article in Liberation, which affirms that this opponent of the health pass would not have told those around him that they were in contact.
Nicolas Dupont-Aignan explained that he had carried out, in order to take a train, a test which turned out to be negative on Thursday, December 9, but to have suffered from symptoms on Friday, December 10.
He was then diagnosed positive for Covid-19.
Without concealing his state of health.
Two very different versions
However, according to Liberation, the deputy "knew he was a contact case" of his wife several days before her positive diagnosis "and continued to participate in meetings" in the National Assembly.
A very distant version of the immediate isolation defended by Dupont-Aignan.
For the politician, three times presidential candidates, all the people crossed in the “48 hours” preceding his positive test were warned, in particular those met during a trip to Lorraine on Wednesday 8 and Thursday 9 December.

Contemptor of the sanitary pass, against which he went to demonstrate on numerous occasions, critical of the vaccination campaign and skeptical as to the efficacy and safety of serums, Mr. Dupont Aignan had told a passerby, during a trip to last November, that he was "not vaccinated".
