Jean-Guilhem Darré sees no other options in the current context: “We are in an extremely complicated situation, many companies are closing their doors, if in addition we cannot work because we do not have the possibility of coming to work, the situation will get even worse”. He calls to “think about the general interest.”

In Ile-de-France and Hauts-de-France, the situation is “insupportable,” the Prime Minister said. “This is indeed what brings us back from the field. It’s unbearable. Thinking about wage demands is legitimate, but blocking a region or a country for this element becomes extremely complicated for the whole population. One must have a reasonable approach in the claims“, estimated Jean-Guilhem Darré.
