Health pass: a bill on October 13 for an extension beyond November 15 – LCI

The application of the health pass finally extended beyond November 15? As a reminder, the Parliament had adopted, on the night of July 25 to 26, the system established until November 15, a new vote being necessary to go beyond. However, the entourage of the Prime Minister announced this Monday, September 20 to AFP that a bill to extend the system “is under development and will be presented on October 13 in the Council of Ministers”.

The question should be raised this Monday afternoon during a meeting between the Prime Minister and the President of the Senate Gérard Larcher (LR) but could also be addressed during the majority breakfast on Tuesday morning.

“The law authorizes us to use the health pass until November 15, after which we would no longer have, even in the event of an epidemic resumption, the legislative tool to reinstate the deaths” Olivier Véran said on Monday, insisting on the fact that“we need a law which, without forcing us to use the tool, allows us to use it if the situation requires it”.

“The health pass has reduced the risk of epidemics by around 30% where the virus was circulating, according to scientists”, he continued, putting forward again “a tool palette” which France has and that she is “able to lighten when possible and activate when necessary.”

Faced with an improvement in the situation of the Covid-19 epidemic in France, President Emmanuel Macron also said he was ready, Thursday, to “remove certain constraints” in the “territories where the virus circulates less quickly”, without giving a timeline. On Sunday, government spokesman Gabriel Attal spoke of a “reflection” for “adapt the rules” To “the local situation and the evolution of the local situation”. He also mentioned an upcoming Defense Council on the subject, “probably” Wednesday.

Since its inception, the device, required in particular to go to cafes and restaurants or take long-distance transport, has sparked a protest movement in the street. A new mobilization took place Saturday, September 18 against the pass or compulsory vaccination of caregivers and certain professions in contact with the public. The Interior Ministry identified 199 rallies in France and 80,000 demonstrators, against 121,000 the previous Saturday or 237,000 participants on August 7.
