And one more step for the vaccination pass.
The bill ratifying this new tool has just been adopted, and its promulgation has just moved further away.
After two readings in each Chamber, the text will now pass through the hands of the Elders of the Constitutional Council.
On the initiative of the deputy La France insoumise Ugo Bernalicis, 60 elected officials - the required threshold - have signed a referral to the institution.
According to our information, elected LFI, but also communists, UDI, Liberties and Territories, non-registered and three members of the Socialist Party participated.

It will take a few more days for the vaccine pass to come into effect.
Although a majority of deputies voted for it this Sunday, with 215 votes in favor, its compliance with the Constitution will now be verified.
"
This is the great and good news of the day
," rejoiced Ugo Bernalicis at the end of the session, after his group unanimously opposed this measure.
“
Signatures are transmitted immediately to the Wise Persons with the corresponding recourse, which concerns both article 1 in its entirety and article 2 in its entirety, that is to say the entire mechanism of the vaccination pass
, ”he further specified.
Entry into force still delayed
For the deputy from the North, this referral was necessary since the text affects “
individual freedoms
” and “
the daily life of people
”. “
It seems to me at the very least important to check that all of this corresponds to our main fundamental principles, to the principles of the Republic
”, he defended.
This appeal to the Constitutional Council is also an opportunity to delay a little more the entry into force of the tool, while the government hoped to formalize it from January 15.
A way of throwing a new stone in the garden of the executive, and of denouncing, according to Ugo Bernalicis, a measure resembling more "
a political coup to try to dry up the Socialist Party and The Republicans
" than a real measure to fight the epidemic.
