The leader of the senators LR Bruno Retailleau, very critical on the bill organizing the deconfinement, affirms to the JDD that the senators of his party will seize the Constitutional Council in particular on the responsibility of the elected officials.
The Constitutional Council will be seized on the bill extending the state of health emergency and organizing deconfinement, which will be examined Monday in the Senate, "at the end of the legislative procedure, either by 60 senators, or by the president of the Senate, Gérard Larcher ", says Bruno Retailleau in the Journal du Dimanche . The President of the Republic did not keep, in his eyes, his "commitments" on the responsibility of elected officials, adds the senator to explain this referral to the Council.
Too many responsibilities on the shoulders of elected officials
“At a meeting on April 21, Emmanuel Macron made a commitment to Gérard Larcher to deal with the issue of the responsibility of local elected officials. However, it is absent from the text, ”he argues. The 63-page health protocol for schools “is a discard pile. It is an above-ground gas plant which aims to protect bureaucracy and places more constraints on elected officials than they can bear. These rules are all potential challenges to the criminal responsibility of an elected official, ”he said.
Bruno Retailleau also indicates that the LR group, majority in the Senate, will abstain, like the majority of the deputies LR, on the strategy of deconfinement also presented Monday in the Senate by the Prime Minister (before the examination of the bill) " because we do not want to vote against the principle of deconfinement but because we have doubts about the conditions for its success ”.
"The head of government builds his strategy like a gamble"
The senator of Vendée sees in particular "gaping security flaws" in the patient information system set up "without anonymization", without "no control body, neither for the collection of data, nor for their destruction thereafter", deeming the StopCovid digital application “more protective than what we are offered today”.
"The head of government builds his strategy as one makes a bet, crossing his fingers so that it does not turn into a disaster", while he "on the contrary should have created the conditions to break the chain of contamination", " to generalize the masks, to massify the tests, to trace and isolate "and" to train earlier "the brigades planned for the deconfinement, he develops.
