Change of tone in government. While the doctrine put in place to combat the spread of the coronavirus now consists of general containment, Bruno Le Maire announced on Wednesday on BFM Business “a setting time and this setting time it should allow us to make adjustments”.
“I invite all employees whose companies are still open, whose activities are essential for the proper functioning of the country, to go to their place of work”, he stressed on BFM Business.
“We have a responsibility (…) it is to work for the best possible organization, health safety at the workplace, to provide the protective barriers necessary for the safety of employees (…) we will provide solutions but it is necessary that all employees whose business sectors are still open, who are not restaurants, bars but industries, the food industry, mass distribution go to their workplaces to ensure the economic security of the country. Economic security and health security must go hand in hand. “
Bruno Le Maire rejects any “contradiction” between this call to go to work and the government’s initial instructions. “It is necessary that we can continue to feed ourselves (…) food must be able to circulate, there must be electricity to light you at home …”, underlines the minister.
