Emmanuel Macron's speech live: vaccination of caregivers against Covid-19 will become mandatory
Vaccination obligation for caregivers, extension of the health pass ... The announcements of the president, from 8 pm, are eagerly awaited, while the Delta variant is progressing and the vaccination slows down.

The pension reform will be "initiated as soon as the sanitary conditions are met"
We will have to initiate, as soon as the sanitary conditions are met, the pension reform. I have always held a language of truth. Yes, our system is unfair. With forty-two different regimes, it maintains major inequalities and it will be necessary to move towards more simplicity for more justice. And therefore, the special regimes will have to be abolished for new employees in these sectors. Yes, because we are living longer, we will have to work longer and retire later. Not tomorrow, not suddenly, pass in a uniform way, because you have to take into account the difficulty of the trades. But gradually, over several years and by a system that makes the difference according to the work actually performed. And therefore the starting age must be later.

Macron hammers out his call for general vaccination in the coming weeks "to block the virus and to continue to revive our economy"
The summer of mobilization for vaccination will also be a summer of recovery. (...) Our recovery plan is being deployed at a sustained pace. Of the 100 billion euros voted last autumn and made possible thanks to the historic European agreement a year ago, 40 billion have been mobilized on the ground. We need to do more, because the sooner we deliver on the stimulus package, the stronger our rebound will be.
20:25
The Head of State invokes the necessary solidarity in terms of the sharing of vaccines, and the increase in French aid:
We have already given over two and a half million doses and by the end of the year it will be several tens of millions of doses of vaccine. We will help to mobilize, precisely, and to mobilize all our partners to produce more and give even more to the poorest countries, in particular in the Balkans, Africa, the Near and Middle East. Several countries are now severely affected and we will further increase our aid. I am thinking particularly of Tunisia. To put a lasting end to the pandemic, we must vaccinate everywhere.
20:24
The bill allowing these new measures examined in Parliament on July 21:
To be able to do all this, I will convene Parliament in extraordinary session from July 21 to examine a bill that will decline these decisions.
As you can see, vaccination is not immediately compulsory for everyone. But we are going to extend the health pass as much as possible to encourage as many of you as possible to get vaccinated.
20:22
PCR tests paid off this fall
This fall, the famous PCR tests will be paid for, unless prescribed by a doctor, in order to encourage vaccination rather than the multiplication of tests.
20:21
Extension of the health pass for "places of leisure and culture" bringing together more than 50 people on July 21, for restaurants and certain means of transport in August
From July 21, the health pass will be extended to places of leisure and culture. Concretely, for all our compatriots over 12 years old, it will be necessary to access a show, an amusement park, a concert or a festival to have been vaccinated or to present a recent negative test.
From the beginning of August, and this because we must first pass a promulgated text of law, the health pass will apply in cafes, restaurants, shopping centers as well as in hospitals. , retirement homes, medico-social establishments, but also in planes, trains and coaches for long journeys. Here again, only the vaccinated and people tested negative will be able to access these places, whether they are also customers, users or employees.
Depending on the assessment of the situation, we ask ourselves the question of extending the health pass to other activities.

Regarding border control:
From this week, they will be further reinforced for nationals from countries at risk, with forced isolation for unvaccinated travelers.
