Notice of bad weather for Jean Castex and his ministers.

Parliament, which should have been on vacation, is playing extra time this week to look in particular at the health pass and compulsory vaccination of caregivers.

And this is not the only sensitive legislative file that the government will have to defend this week.

For the health pass, serious things will begin on Wednesday July 21 with the extraordinary session of Parliament: the government will present its text to deputies.

With a hope that the demonstrations hostile to the project in recent days will not have changed the minds of the opposition parties who had declared themselves in favor.

It will then be the Senate which will be called upon on Friday, before, if all goes well, final negotiations and a vote during the weekend.

The Minister of Health Olivier Véran has already promised that he would toughen up his tone in the event of a guerrilla change.

At the same time, the government will have to take back its pilgrim's staff to convince deputies and senators to finally validate its

so-called “separatism” law

.

Intended in particular to tighten the screw on secularism, it will live its home stretch this week and a minister will be on the front line: the Keeper of the Seals.

Eric Dupond-Moretti must also defend in the Senate his project for confidence in the judicial institution.

However, the Minister of Justice was

indicted

last week, suspected of having used his position to sanction magistrates with whom he had had differences when he was a lawyer.
