“Unfortunately for the country, it is above all an admission of a terrible failure”, LFI deputy for Seine-Saint-Denis Eric Coquerel reacted to franceinfo on Monday, December 27, after the new measures announced by the government to try to curb Covid-19 contamination. MP sees failure “from a government which relied only on the vaccine alone to overcome the virus, and which admits this evening that it unfortunately does not prevent transmission sufficiently”.
Eric Coquerel believes that the country “pay for the months of non-preparation for this new wave”, but also the fact of “no longer have any tracer-isolate strategy”. He also deplores “the fact of not having put the package on the public hospital” and to have “continued to close beds, so once again there are fears that the hospital will be overwhelmed, and so will the caregivers”. “We also pay for not having organized the company according to a virus which, unfortunately, will last a certain time”, adds the deputy for Seine-Saint-Denis.
He cites, for example, the possibility of “half-gauge organization of school classes”, or “the organization in rotation of work, transport, and not only for people who can telework, but for all those who, at seven in the morning, are massed in the subways, in the trains”. Eric Coquerel still judges that the government, “instead of trusting the French”, continuing “to convince that the vaccine is useful to treat severe forms, take measures that could be dangerous for the rule of law”.
For the LFI deputy, the vaccination pass cannot “to be taken lightly”. This pass will “ensure that part of the French will see “most of his social activities controlled, supervised”.
“We are entering a society of generalized control”

It becomes “problem”, with measures “which do not aim to end the virus”. According to him, these measures have “aimed at curbing the virus, trying to maintain economic activity”. He deplores the absence of “structural measures to allow the French not to be contaminated and to be as sick as possible with this virus”.
Eric Coquerel points again “a paradox” in the management of the health crisis by having “given up trying to organize society otherwise” and even having “made matters worse, for example by having paid for the tests, which was an idiotic stupidity, people most likely to have a severe form of the disease were not vaccinated, could no longer be tested and could not warn people around them who were infected “. For the deputy “these measures are inconsistent, dangerous for freedoms and will not suffice in the face of this virus”.
