For the ninth time since the beginning of the coronavirus crisis, the French president, Emmanuel Macron, returns to address the French, tonight at 20 on TV. Among the various topics, the French president will promote the vaccination recall against Covid-19 in the face of the increase in infections and evoke the priorities of the end of his five-year term at the Elysée. Macron chaired a health defense council this morning to take stock of the most stringent issue: convincing the maximum of French Over 65 possible, especially obese or vulnerable, to take the third dose of anti-Covid vaccine. Among the most evoked hypotheses, there could be the choice of conditioning the validity of the French Green Pass to the booster dose.

“The option is on the table,” government spokesman Gabriel Attal said on Friday. Macron could announce this conditionality measure for all Over 65s, even if at the moment it is only a hypothesis. In Paris, the possibility of a third dose for everyone is also being studied, as announced by Italy after Israel and Germany. Five months before the presidential elections, Macron should also take advantage of this televised speech to talk about issues such as reforms, economic revitalization and jobs.
