Marine Le Pen slams Macron over his comments on ‘the unvaccinated’ saying he is not fit to hold office of President

French President Emmanuel Macron has warned he intends to make life difficult for people in France who have not been vaccinated.

“I really want to hassle them, and we will continue to do this – to the end.” Macron said in an extremely controversial interview.

But political opponents said the strong language he used in the interview was not worthy of a president.

In his interview with Le Parisien on Tuesday, Mr Macron said that while he would not “vaccinate by force”, he hoped to encourage people to get jabbed by “limiting as much as possible their access to activities in social life”.

“I won’t send [unvaccinated people] to prison,” he said. “So we need to tell them, from 15 January, you will no longer be able to go to the restaurant. You will no longer be able to go for a coffee, you will no longer be able to go to the theatre. You will no longer be able to go to the cinema.”

Marine le Pen, his main contender for the Presidency, tweeted: “A president shouldn’t say that… Emmanuel Macron is unworthy of his office.”
