The LR deputy for the 7th district of Pas-de-Calais blasted the government’s management of the Covid-19 epidemic in the department. “What you say about vaccination are rifles”, he told the Prime Minister in the hemicycle of the National Assembly.

On Thursday March 4, the Prime Minister announced the containment of Pas-de-Calais for the next four weekends. In question, the soaring incidence rate and the saturation of intensive care services. While 23 other departments in mainland France were under close scrutiny by the authorities, Pas-de-Calais was the only one to suffer these restrictions.

In the wake of these announcements, several elected officials had denounced a “Two weights, two measures”, like the LR mayor of Le Touquet Daniel Fasquelle. This Tuesday, March 9, the LR deputy of the 7th district of Pas-de-Calais Pierre-Henri Dumont questioned the Prime Minister on the same theme at the National Assembly.
“Our fellow citizens are paying the price for your negligence, whether in intensive care or deprived of their liberty”
He initially lambasted the decision to confine “the only inhabitants of Pas-de-Calais” for the next four weekends, judging this decision “intolerable“.
“This decision results from a double standard, because for the same incidence rate, you create two categories of department: the provincial departments that you confine on the one hand and the departments of Île-de-France that you refuse to confine on the other hand “.
The deputy here refers to the bad figures recorded in certain departments of Île-de-France such as Seine-Saint-Denis.

On the set of France 3 last night, the prefect of Pas-de-Calais responded to these comments.
“If it had been necessary to confine Seine-Saint-Denis, it would have been necessary to confine Île-de-France. However, the neighboring departments of Seine-Saint-Denis have an incidence rate which is absolutely not that of Seine-Saint-Denis, first element. Second element, the hospital capacity is absolutely not the same as that of Pas-de-Calais. The hospital plateau in the Ile-de-France region is incomparable with that of of Pas-de-Calais “.
