“The police will not knock on people’s homes to see if you are six or seven at the table ”, but“ sanctions are possible for anything that may be a disturbance to public order ”, recalled Marlène Schiappa , this Thursday, a few hours before a New Year’s Eve under close surveillance.
Sanctions are possible for “anything that can be a disturbance to public order”, recalled the Minister for Citizenship at the Ministry of the Interior on France Info. “If we have, as we have heard in other countries,
es gatherings with 99 people yes, obviously, there may be sanctions ”.
“It is a measure of common sense “
But small “private home gatherings do not fall within the legal field”, she added. “ The police are not going to knock on people’s homes to see if there are six of you or if you are seven at the table and to impose fines if there is a seventh person since it does not fall under the law. ”
🗣️ “The French generally respected health measures very well,” said Marlène Schiappa, Minister Delegate in charge of citizenship. “It is really important to respect them, including the 20 December “

“There is no law which says that you must be six, it is a measure of common sense and it is a request which is formulated, it is not to please the government, ”hammered Marlène Schiappa. The minister also pleaded for a depoliticization of the question of vaccination: “It should not be a political question! I hear people say: “I don’t want to obey the government, I don’t want to be vaccinated”. Once again, we do not vaccinate to please the government, we vaccinate for ourselves (…) and to avoid spreading this virus. ”
