Activists have sharply criticized French Prime Minister Elisabeth Born for smoking an e-cigarette during a public meeting in parliament and called on the authorities to take urgent action to punish her.
A video shared by activists on social media shows Bourne smoking under a mask in the National Assembly, in the center of the hall, during government interrogations on Tuesday, July 19, 2022. The video also shows the French Prime Minister smoking while Sils’ custodian, Eric Dupont, spoke to Moretti in front of a microphone.
According to French media reports, this is not the first time that Elisabeth Bourne smokes e-cigarettes on a bicycle. On February 16, while still secretary of labor, she did the same in the Senate this time. Also, in January 2021, Oise’s deputy Maxime Minot was also upset to see Elisabeth Bourne smoking an e-cigarette.
According to France’s public health law, smoking is prohibited in workplaces closed and closed to public use, and parliament is not excluded. At the same time, the Prime Minister violates and is subject to a fine of up to 150 euros, in addition, the person in charge of the building is subject to a fine of up to 450 euros if he does not put up the planned signs indicating the principle of the prohibition of vaping.
