This is the story of a curiously consensual bill. The reintegration of unvaccinated caregivers – subject to the daily presentation of a negative test for Covid‑19 –, brought on November 24 by the deputy La France insoumise (LFI) Caroline Fiat, was favored by the right (Les Républicains) , left-wing ultramarines and the National Rally (RN). Environmentalists and socialists were mixed. The macronists and the government are fundamentally against it, to the point, during the LFI parliamentary niche, of preventing the vote from taking place. What prepare the ground for a trap of the National Rally, which took up this week, in the text, the proposal of their colleague from LFI in the agenda of their own parliamentary niche, on January 12, 2023. “On these subjects, we must be able to go beyond a partisan and just political vision”argued Marine Le Pen, Monday, December 5, in front of the press.
