The French National Assembly approved today the extension of the state of health emergency until July 10, after senators and deputies reached an agreement on the most controversial points of the diploma.
The upper house, dominated by opposition from the right-wing party, had already given the green light to the bill that allows the state of emergency to extend for another two months to face the pandemic of the new coronavirus.
Later, that same document would end up being approved by parliament, mainly from President Emmanuel Macron’s party, by 252 votes in favor, including the ruling party, the conservatives and other independent parties, and 87 against, essentially from socialists and communists. .
The Senate had already expressed its disagreement with the main provisions of this week, namely, in the criminal liability of public officials for infections that can occur during deflation, a situation considered by the opposition as a handwashing.
The committees that studied the bill today agreed to modify this point, which now takes into account the circumstances and the tools that mayors have at this time to move towards lack of definition.
Another essential issue was related to the use of new technologies in patient monitoring, which was vetoed this week by the Senate. Now instead of an app on the phone, it will be based on medical files, which can be kept for just three months.
This text also offers the possibility of quarantining citizens arriving from other countries, but depending on the circumstances.
Despite this understanding, the president of the Senate, the conservative Gérard Larcher, confirmed today that he will go to the Constitutional Court to guarantee that all the measures contained in the text are “adapted to the circumstances.”
Given the opposition’s growing concern about restrictions on freedoms under this bill, President Emmanuel Macron also deemed it necessary for the Constitutional Court to monitor the law.
