“I no longer listen to what the government says about the health crisis, because according to them, things are always better and we are the best”. Philippe Juvin returned to the Public Senate set this Thursday. The head of the emergency department of the European hospital Georges Pompidou, and mayor Les Républicains de la Garenne-Colombes, points to a still very worrying situation in hospitals. “We have had a decrease in the number of cases in France for about ten days, but that is not stalling, or very slowly, in the number of patients who occupy the hospital: we have around 5,400 patients in intensive care. When we confined, we were at 4,200: the situation in hospitals is therefore worse than the day we confined. The official message is to say that things are getting better, in reality they are not, ”laments the department head. For him, the decision of the President of the Republic to “deconfin whatever happens” is a mistake, insofar as it represents a “health risk”.
“To open on May 19 is obviously too early,” comments Philippe Juvin. “Where are the battalions of people who are going to help us detect, trace, isolate? Where are the border closures? He asks. “We should not deconfin before returning to a contamination rate of 5,000 per day, as the President of the Republic said in October. “Favorable to the establishment of a health pass, the mayor of La Garenne-Colombes however assures that it will have to be” reliable and interconnected with our European neighbors “to be effective. “But if the pass can accelerate the recovery of the economy, I do not see why we would deprive ourselves of it,” he assures us, although he considers that a reopening would be premature given the hospital saturation. “The hospitals are very full and it will take a long time to empty,” he warns once again.
“Castex wanted to conduct an unfriendly takeover bid on LR”
And if the situation is so difficult today, it is linked, according to the elected LR, to the lack of resources allocated to public services, from the hospital to justice. “The impoverishment of prisons, or hospitals, it’s the same thing”, assures Philippe Juvin. “Our public services are failing because we have not given ourselves the means to finance them. The government must stop with the announcements, the major citizens’ debates, and that we see a translation on the ground. “Coming back to the police officer killed in Avignon, this Wednesday, during an arrest, the city councilor made the link with the criminal chain” stiffened for lack of physical means “. “The President of the Republic had assured that he would open 15,000 prison places, there will be none at the end of his mandate. They are always the same announcement effects, ”he laments.
Asked about “The Muselier affair” who shook the Republican party in recent days with several agitated episodes, Philippe Juvin believes that “the case has been managed”. “Jean Castex wanted to lead an unfriendly takeover bid on Les Républicains which failed. We do not take voters hostage in this way, ”he assures us. “This shows once again that LREM is not able to build lists in many regions, because there is no party on the ground. They wanted to make people believe that LREM and LR were the same thing, but this is far from the case, ”concludes Philippe Juvin.
