On Tuesday, the French national assembly extended the state of health emergency until June 1.
This is the second time that the deputies extend these provisions which allow the executive to take, without further parliamentary control, measures restricting freedoms.
It should be noted that these provisions, while they did not fill the voices of the majority, united all the oppositions.
This state of health emergency due to the Covid-19 pandemic, follows long months of a state of security emergency following the 2015 attacks. Stacking of security and health emergency states, the rule of law is he in danger?
This is the question of the day.
