After three days of deliberations and a presidential storm, following in part following the remarks of President Emanuel Macron ("He said the life of the unvaccinated"), the French national assembly today (Thursday) approved the updated "health passport", which contains strict restrictions aimed at those who refuse The corona virus vaccine.
The new character passed with an overwhelming majority of 214 supporters, compared to 93 opponents and 27 abstentions.
Most of the opposition came from the right wing of the political map, whose members criticized Macron's remarks.
Under the new outline, which the government intends to implement from January 15, all 12-year-olds and older will be required to present a vaccine proof to gain access to restaurants, cinemas and shopping centers - and not just a negative corona test, which will not be sufficient.
However, it is likely that the entry into force of the new outline will be delayed, as it is awaiting Senate approval.

In an article published yesterday in the French newspaper "Le Parisien" entitled "Macron's Four Truths", the president explained that "I will not send the unvaccinated to prison, I will not store them by force. They should be told, from January 15, you can no longer go to a restaurant "You can not drink coffee, go to the theater or the cinema."
Some 332,000 people have been diagnosed positive for Corona over the past day, in addition to 246 new deaths.
However, the rate of fully vaccinated is particularly high in the country, standing at about 75% of those eligible for the vaccine.
