Le World keeps the logbook of the 2022 presidential election campaign: a daily update is published every evening at 7 p.m. which reviews the political facts of the past day and discusses the upcoming meetings.
News of the day: the Senate and the National Assembly fail to find an agreement on the vaccine pass
Discussions were expected; they did not succeed. Meeting in a joint joint committee (CMP) to find common ground on the “Bill strengthening the tools for managing the health crisis”, Thursday followingnoon, deputies and senators did not manage to agree on a common version of the text.
According to our information, the discussions were nevertheless very close to an agreement on several points (identity check at the restaurant, sanctions in the event of failure to telework, for example) until the president of the Les Républicains group in the Senate, Bruno Retailleau, congratulates himself on his Twitter account : “The CMP on the vaccine pass has proved right in the Senate, it is the victory of common sense. Senators have obtained many clarifications and simplifications. The pass is intended to protect the French and nothing else… No offense to Emmanuel Macron. “
However, this tweet strained discussions between parliamentarians, especially those of the majority, even causing the end of negotiations in the early evening. The boss of the deputies of La République en Marche (LRM), Christophe Castaner, has thus recorded on Twitter the “Disagreement with the senatorial majority. It was out of the question to vote for a text at a discount ”. For the president of the law committee, Yaël Braun-Pivet, the tweet of Mr. Retailleau “Is an attack on institutions”, she denounced the Palais-Bourbon.
It is therefore a new parliamentary shuttle that starts, in a very tight schedule: passage in the law committee in the Assembly from Thursday evening, from 10 p.m., according to information from the World, then examination in public session by the deputies, during a probable night session – before a possible arrival in the Senate on Saturday or at the beginning of next week.
Note that the text was initiated under the accelerated procedure by the government: in the event of a new disagreement, it is the National Assembly – where the presidential party and its allies are in the majority – Who will have the last word. The date of application of the vaccination pass, initially desired by the government for January 15, will therefore not be possible, in particular if the oppositions refer to the Constitutional Council on one or more provisions of the text.
The quote: Robert Ménard urges Marine Le Pen and Eric Zemmour to unite
“They are so stupid! “
Robert Ménard is fed up. The mayor of Béziers once once more denounced, Thursday, January 13, the divisions between the candidate of the National Rally, Marine Le Pen, and Eric Zemmour, accusing them, on the antenna of Europe 1, of being “The most suicidal right in the world”.
“They are so stupid! Today, when, if I am to believe the polls, our right wing is in the majority on the right and represents roughly a third of the electorate, we are screwed to lose the elections because of their egos, their stables. , of their parties, because both of them have party logic “, he regretted. If he announced, Friday, January 7, to have brought his sponsorship of elected to the candidate of the RN, Mr. Ménard hopes that Mr.me Le Pen and M. Zemmour unite, believing that it would be “Suicidal to have two candidates for the right of the right” before the first round.
“I don’t understand them”, he insisted, claiming also to try to play the role of ” bridge “ to achieve the union of the lines between Mme Le Pen, M. Zemmour and Valérie Pécresse in the second round. “It will be necessary that the two who will not be in the second round call to vote for who will be in the lead, I guarantee you that it is not won », He concluded, almost disillusioned.

The proposal: Valérie Pécresse wants to liberalize agriculture
Traveling in the Doubs, Thursday, the Republican candidate presented her program on agriculture, in line with the main axes of her presidential campaign: lower taxes and simplification, both administrative and regulatory.
the “Ax committee” wanted by Mme Pécresse to reduce the number of standards would thus have as a priority to attack the agricultural world. Gone, too, is the phenomenon of over-transposition, which consists of going further than European law by adapting it to French law. Taxes on production would be lowered, ambitions the president of Ile-de-France, just like inheritance taxes for children who take over exploitation.
“I will cover the“agribashing”, I will restore the“agrifierté” », claimed Mme Pécresse by listing other measures, such as the abandonment of the strategy aimed at stopping the use of phytosanitary products and its wish to recognize breeders “A right to self-defense” when the herds are attacked.
The day … the left left divided before its primary
In this recap devoted to the news of the electoral campaign, we will also evoke the past by returning each day to the highlights of the last presidential elections through an article from “The World”. Today, let’s go back five years… January 13, 2017.
The left begins a decisive weekend less than three months before the presidential election. Five years ago, she already approached the poll “Weakened and divided” following François Hollande’s five-year term, explained The world in his editorial. In mid-January 2017, part of the left was preparing to organize its citizen primary with seven candidates on the starting line: Manuel Valls, Arnaud Montebourg, Benoît Hamon, Vincent Peillon, François de Rugy, Sylvia Pinel and Jean- Luc Bennahmias.
But for The world, these candidates “Are divided by bottomless and endless personal rivalries which give their competition the appearance of a cockfight and bode ill for their final rally behind the winner of the primary”. “Mélenchon and Macron did not hesitate to send it back to them: what use would a socialist candidate do, if not to make the left lose?” “, also wondered The world. Five years later, the question still seems to be open.
The agenda for Friday, January 14
Campaign trips. While Marine Le Pen goes to Côtes-d’Armor and Ille-et-Vilaine on the theme of wind turbines and fishing, Eric Zemmour will be in the North, in Honnecourt-sur-Escaut. For her part, the LR candidate, Valérie Pécresse, goes to Greece on Friday for a three-day visit.
Return of the vaccine pass to the Assembly. After the examination of the bill transforming the health pass into a vaccination pass in the law committee on Thursday evening, deputies must begin discussions in public session on Friday – they should continue late at night from Friday to Saturday.
