The hard-left La France Insoumise (LFI), the right-wing Republicains (LR), and the right-wing populist National Rally (RN) all voted against the Emmanuel Macron government's vaccine passport measure, which resulted in their defeat.
French President Emmanuel Macron was humiliated in parliament after his vaccine passport plan was defeated.
The policy requiring confirmation of vaccination or a negative Covid test for everyone entering France was something Macron's minority government sought to expand.
However, the hard-left La France Insoumise (LFI), the right-wing Republicains (LR), and the right-wing populist National Rally (RN) all voted against the measure.
The vote was defeated by Macron's government 219 votes to 195.
“The bill’s defeat was met with wild cheering and a standing ovation from opposition lawmakers, in footage that was widely circulated on social media,” reports the Telegraph.
🇫🇷 Yesterday the French National Assembly prevented the reintroduction of the vaccine passport for minors, international, & domestic travel after an amendment was put in by @dupontaignan. A major defeat for despot @Macron and a major win for the people!
