“Trust us and empower us! “
It is in these terms that Philippe Vieira, director of dance schools in Lyon and manager of Espace Zola 229, addresses the President of the Republic in a letter sent on Tuesday.
“It is with us and not against us that you will manage to manage the crisis”
Responding to the national movement “Ultra Essentials”, he wanted to open his restaurant space in Villeurbanne and he had backed down in the face of threats from Bruno Le Maire to suspend the solidarity funds (FDS) to restaurateurs who decided to defy the anti-Covid restrictions .
If he recognizes, in this letter, “the strong actions which are carried out by the government, to support our activities, and thanks above all the French solidarity, which allows me thanks to the fund of assistance to the companies to hold financially and to keep head above water ”, Philippe Vieira wishes to continue to carry the message of“ non-essentials ”. “It is with us and not against us that you will manage to manage this crisis. It is by trusting us … And by letting ourselves open in the strictest respect for sanitary rules, that we will win this “war” “.

“Building to have a perspective of hope”
Philippe Vieira underlines moreover “confidence and responsibility should be the only key words of a policy which would then allow us to live with the virus, and not only to suffer and to die with… So let’s go! “
If he concedes that the epidemic outbreak is not conducive to a change in political orientation, it seems essential to him “to build together now so that we can have perspective and hope.” Maybe at the beginning of April? he suggests.
