Liberation

 : " 

50 million (or almost)

 " of people in France who have received at least a first injection of vaccine against Covid-19.

“

A satisfecit for the Elysee,

points

Liberation, despite strong inequalities.

 "

And “ 

objectively, the rant of Emmanuel Macron, on July 12, paid off,

recognizes the newspaper.

We can regret that it takes constraints to push some in the vaccination centers but the facts are there: while many hesitated or even reluctant to make an appointment, the announcement of the introduction of the health pass caused a real jump. , then a rush for the essential sesame. (...) However, there are still big misses,

still notes

Liberation, some of which had tragic consequences.

For example, overseas, a real blind spot for this vaccination policy for both local and national reasons.

LR no longer has a choice,

The Galacticos have made a point ...

Le Parisien.

“ 

Associated for the first time in attack this season, Messi, Neymar and Mbappé did not shine.
