The National Rally, opposed to the health pass which “undermines freedoms” and “generates” “violence”, “denounces all the excesses” of the demonstrators, in particular those wearing yellow stars, assured Thursday its spokesperson Julien Odoul . "We obviously support the victims of violence, threats, intimidation whatever they are and we denounce all the excesses, with certain demonstrators who, shamefully, had signs, messages or who carried yellow stars", a- he declared on Cnews, when asked about the case of a pharmacist forced to fold up his testing tent in the face of insults from demonstrators on Saturday in Montpellier.

"We must denounce them, and we do it clearly", he assured, noting that these "slippages", these "violent elements", are "extremely marginal".

A few hours before the decision of the Constitutional Council on the bill aimed at curbing the Covid-19 epidemic, with the controversial extension of the health pass, Julien Odoul once again denounced the "manifest breach of equality" between citizens , generated according to him by the device.

Emmanuel Macron "has a role in all of this"

He estimated that “this surveillance society, where employers control their employees, restaurant owners their customers, doctors control each other, unfortunately and inevitably generates violence and tensions”. For him, Emmanuel Macron "has a role in all this, with extremely brutal messages (...), when he speaks of a threat to democracy", while opponents of the health pass and vaccination are only "expressing their concerns ".

The president of RN Marine Le Pen, presidential candidate of 2022, had called on the government on July 31, for the third Saturday of demonstrations, which had gathered more than 200,000 people throughout France, to "hear the legitimate concern expressed so much on the effectiveness than on the attacks on freedom and equality that the health pass gives rise to ”.

“There is still time to go back,” she said in a tweet.
