This is the hammer blow that the nightlife and revelers have been dreading for the past few days. From this Friday, December 10, 2021, the discos will remain closed for four weeks. “The virus circulates a lot among young people and wearing a mask in nightclubs is difficult to apply“Explained Monday, December 6, 2021 the Prime Minister, Jean Castex. At the microphone of 20H of TF1, the first reactions were not long in coming and they are rather lively: “To be completely frank with you, we tried to enforce. Each time, the first two hours of our openings, we tried to tell people to wear the mask. In view of all that, it’s complicated to do respect… “, explains Nicolas Ishac, owner of the nightclub La Dérive, in Lille.
Thierry Fontaine, president of the professional organization Umih Nuit, for his part said “scandalized”. “We are not talking about a gauge, we are talking about the closure. We find that completely disproportionate”, he balances. “Since we don’t have – excuse me for the word – the balls to force people to be vaccinated, well we’re going to shut us down”, he added to AFP.
Personalities also react to the closing of nightclubs
As soon as the Prime Minister announced the closing of nightclubs, the evening programs of the PAF and the radio reacted to this new preventive and restrictive measure. In TPMP, Kelly Vedovelli pointed out the fact that transport remained open and that they generated, according to her, as many risks of contamination.
On NRJ, Cauet also expressed his incomprehension. “It will be necessary to explain to me why the clubs are closed when they asked them to take security guards to check the health passes,” he notes. “Then they asked for PCR testing. The guys have brought in the means to achieve them. This is the nightclubs that paid. We asked them all that, result: they are closed today, while yesterday they could see a total of 17,000 people at the meetings of Zemmour and Mélenchon, without any health pass or mask.“, adds the host before concluding:”Basically, we closed people who did their job well, but those who did not do theirs will continue to hold meetings. It’s incredible !“
