“The President of the Republic was elected a month ago, has it been for a month? Nothing, absolutely nothing”, deplore Sébastien Chenu, spokesperson for the National Rally, Sunday May 29 on franceinfo. He believes that on the issues of concern to the French, the government has not acted. “The words of Elisabeth Borne does not print at all, there has been a power vacuum for a month. We have the impression that the state machine is completely at a standstill.”
Sébastien Chenu insists on purchasing power and increases in fuel or food prices. “Elisabeth Borne comes to tell us that it is the priority, but it has already been the priority of the French for months, purchasing power. However, they could act.”
Same accusations of inaction against the government on the crisis in hospitals, with 120 emergency services closed or partially closed in France due to lack of staff. “This government did not anticipate anything, believes Sébastien Chenu, he is not on the level to solve this problem.
“Three Levers” could have been activated by the government, according to the RN spokesperson. That of recruitment, first: “It doesn’t happen in a fortnight, but after all, they’ve been in power for five years!” Then concerning the remuneration of caregivers, “Ségur did not give satisfaction”, he says, recalling the midwives’ strike last November, which was “totally screwed up”. The Ségur de la santé was held between May and July 2020, to review the demands of caregivers after the first wave of the Covid-19 epidemic. Finally, Sébastien Chenu mentions “the organization of hospital management”, and especially “the remedicalization of hospital management”. According to him, “the organization of the public hospital” was one of the problems in managing the Covid crisis, and “no construction site has been opened on it”, he complains.
