Restaurants, cinemas, transport, leisure areas… and now the distribution of food packages? Since this weekend, many Internet users denounce the conditions of control of the health pass during a solidarity operation in Orléans: “Incredible. The presidency of the University of Orleans requires the health pass to be able to access the emergency food distribution organized on this day. According to the local news site Politica-Mag, the president of the university issued a decree to this effect at the beginning of last week.

The distribution, organized by the Orléans association supports students from around the world, was held in one of the university's covered aisles.

.

Indeed, the decree of June 1, 2021 excludes, among the sectors concerned by the obligation of the QR code, “non-commercial catering, in particular the free distribution of meals”.

And from a legal point of view, the higher authority prevails, that is to say that the decision of the government prevails over that of the presidency of the University of Orleans.

In general, a decree always takes precedence over a decree, specifies the direction of legal and administrative information of the government.

The presidency's decision seemed all the more illogical to the students since the distribution was taking place outdoors.

Internet users have also denounced the absurdity of the measure: "We can go cram in closed classrooms without health pass, but not go find something to eat, outside?

"

The president of the association confirmed to

that this was the first time that such a decision had been taken, while distributions have taken place every month since the start of the epidemic. “We had, constrained by the decree, to control the health passes, but the students without pass were given a parcel of food and hygiene products like the others. "And Lucile Mollet to conclude:" We hope that this is canceled quickly. "
