The Prime Minister answered topical questions from senators, many of which revolved around Emmanuel Macron's exit on the


Prime Minister Jean Castex is in the oven and in the mill this Wednesday.

The tenant of Matignon came first to the Senate to defend the words of the President of the Republic made in an interview with the readers of the Parisian - Today in France Tuesday.

During current affairs questions, he took the floor to answer all the presidents of the senatorial groups.

“Being a citizen also means having duties and reminding them of it.

That's all we do!

He pleaded with a hint of annoyance.

The Prime Minister then castigated a "tiny minority who fractures the nation".

And to continue: “The announcement of the vaccination pass has started again the primary vaccinations.

We will soon be at 92%, a world record!

At some point, we have to call a spade a spade, empower our fellow citizens and together give us the means to fight against this epidemic ”.

Earlier, the government spokesperson, Gabriel Attal, had estimated that Emmanuel Macron's words were “far below the anger of a very large majority of the French”.

"Who's fucking who's life today?"

Who ruins the lives of our caregivers?

They are those who oppose vaccines, ”he said after the Council of Ministers.

"It is an outrage too much"

Jean Castex was arrested at the beginning of the session by the president of the senators LR, Bruno Retailleau, then that of the centrist group Hervé Marseille, in front of a hemicycle heated by the words of the Head of State made the day before in our newspaper.

"No health emergency justifies words of such brutality, such indignity", in particular stormed Bruno Retailleau, pinning the "verbal violence" of Emmanuel Macron.

"It is not one more slip, it is too much outrage", he judged.

"The president is normally the one who guarantees the national union (...), the man of the gathering", for his part underlined Hervé Marseille, by asking the Prime Minister if the health policy of the government had evolved, going from the triptych "to test , trace, isolate, to annoy the French ”.

After his passage in the Senate, the Prime Minister then had to go to the National Assembly, where the LFI and PCF deputies played the card of parliamentary obstruction only to resume the debates after having heard him.

Fronde at the Palais Bourbon

Also at the Palais Bourbon, the group presidents spoke before the start of the debates.

Among the most virulent, PS MP Valérie Rabault demanded an apology from Emmanuel Macron.

"When you are politically responsible, you are elected and you represent those who elected you but also those who did not vote for you," she defended, adding that "any form of contempt, if it is intervenes in politics, prepares or establishes fascism ”.

"Any form of contempt, whether it intervenes in politics, prepares or establishes fascism".

After quoting the words of Albert Camus, @Valerie_Rabault wants the President of the Republic "to be able to apologize to all of our fellow citizens".

Same line on the side of the head of the line of Communist deputies.

“Are those who have made different choices, which we do not necessarily share, sub-citizens?

“Asked André Chassaigne from the rostrum, also wishing for explanations from the Prime Minister.

Vehemently, the president of the UDI, Jean-Christophe Lagarde, has also stepped up to the plate.

"Your president opens it a little too much," he said.

He is supposed to be the president of all French people, he has given up on being.

There lies the real irresponsible, and he sits at the Élysée ”.

After multiple suspensions of session and a new request, in vain, opposition to see Prime Minister Jean Castex come into the hemicycle, the debates were again suspended.

The entry into force of the vaccination pass on January 15 "remains an objective", underlined the Minister of Relations with Parliament, Marc Fesneau.

However, the calendar still threatens to derail: the discussions at the Palais Bourbon stalled Tuesday evening and 450 amendments remain on the menu.

The Assembly should in theory complete their examination Wednesday evening, then the Senate will seize the text Thursday in committee.

In addition, Gabriel Attal ruled out recourse to article 49.3 to pass the bill transforming the health pass into a vaccination pass.

"The question does not arise", he said, because there is "a majority which is ready to vote it".
