The session of Questions to the government before the National Assembly on Tuesday afternoon was an opportunity for Jean Castex to express his anger, after the suspension of the examination of the bill on the vaccine pass intervened on Monday evening.
The Prime Minister denounced the
"Political coup"
opposition MPs, adding that he "is not responsible" for "slowing down the debate" at a critical period of the Covid-19 epidemic.
"The virus is galloping and you pull the handbrake!" », He thundered in front of the National Assembly. “What do our fellow citizens think of these jokes, do you think they enhance the public debate? What do our committed caregivers think, who don't stop at midnight? “, Again launched the head of government under the jeers of the benches of the right.
Monday evening, the government suffered a snub in the hemicycle by seeing the deputies refuse to continue in the night the examination of the bill transforming the health pass into a vaccination pass, which was to come into force on January 15.
If the work will resume on Tuesday evening, the executive showed its annoyance on Tuesday by mainly targeting The Republicans.
"I do not understand more than after a certain number of officials of your party have spoken out in favor of the vaccination pass, that last night 32 deputies voted against", notably grumbled Jean Castex on Tuesday.
