While the terraces have only reopened for two days in France, the Prime Minister insisted on giving a little reminder to order before the (drinking?) Weekend that arrives. “I take this opportunity to remind you that there are rules to be respected. We reopen with protocols and gauges. There are still barrier gestures, ”said Jean Castex in front of elected officials from Drôme, during a visit to Aouste-sur-Sye.
“We all remember collectively that going a bit fast can lead us to mistakes. We have learned from the past. The government has learned lessons ”, he added, criticizing in passing“ the aggregates of the yakafaukon ”who“ have never prospered so much ”.
“Still some collective progress to be made”
Already the day before, during a visit to Blois, Jean Castex had launched a “call for responsibility” from the French, in the face of the enthusiasm of the public which is massing on the terraces for their reopening. “Sometimes, walking around a lot, I see that we still have some collective progress to make,” he noted, while welcoming the slowdown in the epidemic. “The path is marked out, the horizon is clearing up,” he pointed out.
Strolling through the streets of Aouste-sur-Sye, Jean Castex also took the opportunity to take an improvised walkabout in the courtyard of a school, multiplying photos and dedicating foam balloons.
