French health minister takes aim at opposition after Assembly embarassment

Description

Speaking at the National Assembly, French health minister Olivier Véran slams opposition group Les Républicains, after a surprise move by the right-wing party to team up with the far-left and far-right late on Monday, to hold up a bill tightening measures against Covid-19. The centrist party of French President Emmanuel Macron was left red-faced as not enough of its lawmakers were still present in the chamber when the vote by a show of hands was taken to continue the debate.
