Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday, in an interview with the Parisian, to be decided to “piss off” the unvaccinated “until the end” by “limiting for them, as much as possible, access to activities of social life”.
Very quickly, the words of the French president sparked controversy on social networks.
LFI presidential candidate and MP Jean-Luc Mélenchon was one of the first to respond. “Does the President control what he says? WHO says ‘convince rather than coerce.’ And he?
For Marine Le Pen, the candidate of the RN, “a President should not say that. The guarantor of the unity of the nation persists in dividing it and assumes wanting to make the unvaccinated second-class citizens. Emmanuel Macron is unworthy of his office “.
“President, I will stop pissing off the French. The outgoing President himself speaks openly of pissing off a category of French”, also immediately tweeted the other far-right candidate Eric Zemmour.
At LR, Bruno Retailleau estimated that no “health emergency justifies such words. Emmanuel Macron says he has learned to love the French, he especially likes to despise them. We can encourage vaccination without insulting anyone or pushing for radicalization” , he said.
