C’is one more voice that comes to mingle with the cacophony of the last days. Will it reconfine, will it not confine? While several government sources have posted their certainties in recent days, the Elysee, for its part, says nothing has been decided yet. Tristan Duval, the mayor of Cabourg, is certain. On Monday night, at the city council, the elected official stated that he knew the deadline for the next confinement, says The Parisian. For him, the reconfinement would begin this Thursday, January 28.
“Off, the press is not there … I was on the phone with the prefect who, unfortunately, announces a reconfinement to us on Wednesday,” begins Tristan Duval. According to him, the announcement should be made “Wednesday evening” and confinement to begin the next day. Supporting details, he then specifies that “everything closes as in March”, with the exception of schools. “Wait for it to be official”, underlines all the same the mayor of the Norman city, who does not hesitate to evoke a duration of confinement of “five weeks”. Words that have been widely disseminated and relayed on social networks. Indeed, if the press was absent, the mayor forgot that the city council was broadcast live on Facebook, specifies Actu.fr.
Mayor’s backpedaling
Very quickly, the Twitter account of the prefecture of Calvados denied the information. “On reading this tweet, the prefect of Calvados indicates that he has not had a conversation today with the mayor of Cabourg on the hypothesis of a possible reconfinement”, thus specify the services of the administration.
