“What chaotic management! No one understands anything anymore”, denounced on franceinfo this Friday morning Anne Hidalgo, candidate of the Socialist Party for president and mayor of Paris, after the announcements of Jean Castex Thursday evening on the timetable for lifting health restrictions. “In its method, the government does anything and the French are lost”, she added.

“We put everyone under stress about the vote for the pass”, which is to come into force from Monday subject to the decision of the Constitutional Council on Friday. “The government is refusing measures that allowed for automatic relief if the epidemic goes down, and a week later, we are told that there will be automatic lifting”, annoys the mayor of Paris, who denounces “a political calendar”.
“I would not have managed this crisis like that at all”, said Anne Hidalgo. “I would have set the course for vaccination for all”, she said, without ever mentioning the obligation to vaccinate, as the Socialist Party had proposed. The PS presidential candidate rather mentioned “an interesting track”, but without “fine or penalty. I’m for the maximum inducement and that we all get vaccinated.”
The city councilor explained that she would have “great reliance on mayors and local elected officials to organize better” crisis management, citing in particular the school. “The mayors learned on a Sunday evening before the return to school from the Minister of National Education of the protocol that was binding on everyone. I’m not saying that it’s easy to manage a crisis like this- I am lucid about the difficulty of a crisis that has affected the whole world. But an epidemic is managed with the population, it is a public health policy that must be put in place, and not by infantilizing the population “, she added.

“The good news is that this presidential election will perhaps be able to take place in a setting where the health crisis will not hinder the meeting with the French and where the government will not instrumentalize the health crisis”, also hoped the candidate.
