Since the petition was originally launched, a number of new Covid laws have been approved by the Chamber of Deputies, which means that many of the changes requested by the petitioners have already come into effect.
Nevertheless, a debate still took place and saw the petitioners lament a lack of communication from the government. MPs disputed this claim, noting that the very debate they were conducting at the moment proved otherwise.
After one of the co-petitioners compared the pandemic to the Holocaust, almost every MP decided to get up and leave the room.
In terms of abolishing the CovidCheck system, a proposal which 6,000 people signed, the petitioners were referred to the most recent Covid laws, which stipulate that the system is only applied in hospitals and care homes.
