A. GELEBART / 20 MINUTES
The controversial bill establishing a sustainable health emergency management regime in the event of a future pandemic will not be examined by Parliament "in the coming months, before being out of the crisis", announced Tuesday evening to the TF1 newscast the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran.
The possibility of seeing certain trips made conditional on vaccination, mentioned in this bill presented to the Council of Ministers on Monday, has provoked fiery reactions from the opposition, which fears a restriction of freedoms.
"The debate is closed", according to Olivier Véran
"This text is not at all intended to consider compulsory vaccination against the coronavirus," assured Olivier Véran.
"Vaccination against the coronavirus will not be mandatory either to take public transport or to enter a restaurant or obviously to go to work," he reiterated.
But, "because it takes confidence so that the French can be vaccinated freely (…), the government will not propose this text in front of the Parliament before several months, before being out of the crisis".
And to estimate: "The debate is closed".
