Already contested within the teaching staff, Jean-Michel Blanquer must face a media storm around his vacation in Ibiza. A stay in the sun on the eve of the start of the school year, when he presented his new health protocol. Before the National Assembly, he confessed regrets about the place chosen for his leave.
The controversy continues and the first question is for him: his vacation in Ibiza in the midst of a pandemic goes badly. Already weakened by his management of the health crisis in schools, the minister sketched a mea-culpa: “The symbolism, I regret it, but for the rest, we hold the policy of the open school, that is what is essential, and do not get lost in the accessory”. Because it is from this Balearic island, known to be a place of relaxation and celebration, that Jean-Michel Blanquer gave an interview to the Parisian to announce on January 2, on the eve of the start of the school year, the new health protocol in schools.
On the left, it is made a symbol that does not pass, many of them are calling for his resignation. On the right, we mainly point to a political clumsiness. For its part, the majority flew to the aid of the minister. According to exasperated teachers, this controversy reveals a lack of consideration. Thursday January 20, Jean-Michel Blanquer will have to face a new day of mobilization, after that already widely followed last week.
