36.hour marathon of debate, France approves the vaccination pass

The National Assembly has definitively approved the institution in France of the vaccination certificate, what in Italy is called “green pass”. The vote took place after 36 hours of debate, in the absence of Health Minister Olivier Véran who in recent days tested positive at Covid.

The text was voted with 215 votes in favor, 58 against and 7 abstentions, at the end of a period of controversy and political squabbles that began in the first days of the year.

Now the government wants the “pass” is operational as soon as possible, but the socialist parliamentarians have asked the opinion of the Constitutional Council, as a guarantee of respect for fundamental rights, and this will cause the promulgation of the law to be postponed for a few days.

The certificate proving the vaccination will be mandatory for all over 16s to access recreational activities, bars and restaurants, trade fairs and interregional public transport.
