French President Emmanuel Macron has sparked outrage among citizens after stating he wants to “piss off” the unvaccinated in an interview with French daily newspaper, Le Parisien, published today.
The President of the Republic said in a clear and direct statement that he will keep pissing off those who refuse to get vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus, saying it’s all he can do since he can’t put them in jail, nor forcibly vaccinate them.
Calling it “strategy,” Macron reiterated he will annoy the 5 million unvaccinated French citizens “to the bitter end.” He says this is the only solution to reach a fully vaccinated population.
Macron’s statement is making headlines, amid a serious political crisis due to the French government’s indecisiveness around substituting the health pass for the vaccine pass in the European republic.
The French parliament recently found itself at a standstill, as debates on the vaccine pass were suspended by surprise at the National Assembly this Monday, January 3.
The examination of the bill was halted in the middle of the night, significantly disturbing the timetable for the final adoption of the text by parliament.
The deputies voted against the government’s proposal to extend the debates beyond midnight.
The executive’s proposal was another way to pressure and in Macron’s own words, “piss off” the French unvaccinated, in a last attempt to direct the “minority” to adhere to the crucial immunization process.
The debate on vaccines is occurring against the backdrop of unprecedented daily COVID-19 infection rates in France and Europe, as the continent is ravaged by a new wave.
