13,000 Parisians infected per week. 6000 doses administered every day in the 24 vaccination centers … This Tuesday morning, at the opening of the Council of Paris, elected officials debated the health crisis, as they had been demanding for several months.
The mayor attacks the state
The mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo (PS) took the opportunity to point out the inadequacies of the state. “We need vaccinodromes and many more vaccines”, she insisted before assessing the financial cost of this health, economic and social crisis at “more than a billion euros”. “It is an unprecedented situation (…) we are fighting in the service of our fellow citizens by seeing the expenses which slip away and the resources which dry up (…) And all this, in an astonishing indifference on the part of the ‘Central State, whose reaction is far from being up to the stakes (…) To be honest, the revival costs words “denounced the mayor of Paris.
The very vindictive opposition
Beyond these criticisms, the mayor referred to the “risk reduction policy” implemented by the City. With the advisory committee bringing together scientists, doctors, economic players and citizens, the town hall would like to set up a test concert for 5,000 people where participants would be screened before and after. The city is still awaiting various authorizations to carry out this experiment in the spring. A “Book of Protocols” is also in the process of being drawn up.
But these announcements were not enough to silence criticism within the opposition. The centrists through the voice of Maud Gatel, the president of the MoDem group but also the elected officials close to LREM and LR campaigned for the installation of air purifiers in classrooms and school canteens. “Coupled with CO2 sensors as I did in the 9th district”, insists Delphine Bürkli, the mayor (DVD) of the 9th district and co-president of the “Independents and Progressives” group.
“Recent scientific studies attest to the effectiveness of these devices against coronaviruses. And what applies to schools or early childhood, must apply to any equipment open to the public, ”hammered the mayor of the 9th.
Even on the benches of the majority, the slowness of the City on the deployment of CO2 sensors in the classes was underlined. “Since May 2020, the national protocols established by scientists have recommended these sensors! »Recalled the elected Communist Jean-Noël Aqua. Currently 100 CO2 sensors are installed in the 813 schools (nursery and primary) in the city.
A place of memory for the victims of the Covid
The Changer Paris group, through the voice of the mayor (LR) of the 6th Jean-Pierre Lecoq, has proposed to lead by the summer an Information and Evaluation Mission on the “health” policy in Paris and its evolution. for 10 years, in order to understand the flaws that have arisen in order to better deal with them.
The Paris Council unanimously voted to create a “place of memory” in Paris in tribute to the victims of the coronavirus.
