[updated June 14, 2020 at 15h23] What to give to the déconfinement, started in France on may 11, and entered a second phase, more soft, on 2 June ? It is known that a third phase has been formally announced for Monday, 22 June, the contours of which are not yet known. Emmanuel Macron should say more at a speech scheduled for this Sunday, June 14, at 20h, at the television. Given the evolution of the epidemic of coronavirus, the new freedoms may be announced by the head of State. This last one is in a hurry to speed up by the economic actors, but also by the cultural world, the parents of the students or the unions. The executive is also asked to act by one of the main administrative courts, as the Council of State has lifted Saturday evening, the prohibition of gatherings of more than ten persons, imposed in the framework of the state health emergency, thereby restoring the freedom to manifest, in respect of so-called “barriers”.
While a prohibited demonstration against the police violence and was attended by 15 000 people in Paris this Saturday, the judge of the Council of State believed “that the ban on protests is not justified by the current health status when the ‘measures barriers’ can be met”. Recalling that “the freedom to demonstrate is a fundamental freedom”, it indicates that the prohibitions may be ordered only “where such measures barriers can not be adhered to or that the event will bring together more than 5000 people”. The preliminary declaration will still be mandatory.
What measures for phase 3 of the déconfinement ?
Emmanuel Macron could discuss the conditions under which the phase 3 of the déconfinement could unfold. The latter is expected to start from June 22. Beyond a point on the situation of the epidemic, several issues could be addressed. The question of schools is very expected. The health protocol could be made more flexible. The minister of Education has expressed this wish, Wednesday, June 10 on RTL. The lightening of the rules may relate to the maximum number of 15 pupils per class in primary schools, according to Jean-Michel Blanquer. These new measures would apply as from the month of June.
in addition, the head of the State could raise the issue of restaurants and bars. After his meeting with the scientific Council Friday, Emmanuel Macron ease there again the health rules for these institutions ? It is in any case the aim of the restorers. As soon as the re-opening of the terraces in the Île-de-France, it was a question of re-opening total restaurants as of the 22nd of June. The entourage of Emmanuel Macron, in any case, given the tone of the speech to BFMTV : “this speech should be used to turn the page on the Covid-19 and initiate the recovery of activity.”
The health emergency exercise on 10 July
According to multiple media outlets, including the journal The World, the executive is already planning not to extend the state of health emergency which is in force until 10 July. This state of emergency, which had been decided on march 23, in the midst of a crisis of the coronavirus, has been extended for the first time on 11 may. So it is very likely that it will not be a second time.
A bill is, however, preparing to maintain certain measures of restrictions beyond the 10 July. Presented on Wednesday 10 June by the Council of ministers, the text must be examined from the 17 June to the national Assembly, then the Senate. A new four-month period of déconfinement is being considered, which would bring the new deadline of 10 November. Among the restrictions : a prohibition on opening of certain establishments (theaters, restaurants, cinemas, convention centers, or trade, etc), freedom of movement restricted, or the port of the face mask kept in the transit…
Extension of a “state of emergency “light”
This bill, and this new period of decline in scheduled from 10 July to 10 November are inspired by the scientific Council, that said in a new opinion, dated June 8, that “the epidemic is controlled, however, a virus that continues to circulate”. The members of this committee, which advises the government since the beginning of the health crisis, warn, however, that a resumption of the epidemic of coronavirus in France “could take place in the coming weeks or months”, but consider this possibility at the time, “hypothetical, localized, and probably slow and controllable”.
Without a state of emergency, it seems impossible that a new phase of containment is strict can be imposed in case of worsening of the health situation. It will be necessary to pronounce a new state of emergency if this ifhe went on to say arises. A scenario that seems to validate once again the scientific Board, which indicates that the door to “a return to the state of emergency in case of need” must remain open.
But that one is not mistaken there : if the state of a health emergency, now in its last weeks, the government intends to maintain the pressure in the fight against the Covid-19, with a series of measures by way of derogation until the 10th of November. “More than a transition out of a state of emergency, the government’s project looks like a four-month extension of it, with a few rare tools in the least, as the possibility of declaring the containment of the country”, in particular, review The World where it is a question of a “state of emergency light”.
calls for a déconfinement broader
The government must move forward on a ridge line between the imperative of reviving the activity and the risk of a second wave of the epidemic. In addition to the five organisations (CGT, Solidaires, a Federation syndicale unitaire, Syndicat de la magistrature, Syndicat des avocats de France) who demanded that lifted the ban on gatherings of more than 10 people to allow the organization of events, calls to a déconfinement wider have been launched in recent days by several economic actors. To begin with, employers ‘ organisations, is concerned about the impact of the economic crisis on growth and employment.
The Union of trades and industries de l’hotellerie (UMIH) has requested, inter alia, in a press release this Tuesday, June 9, “the rapid reopening of schools in the orange zone, whose operation is so far limited to only the terraces”. She believes that “this half-opening only creates frustrations among professionals” who often refuse to reopen their restaurants “because the limit of the terraces is not cost-effective for their business”. The UMIH also calls for a review of the rules of distance tables. The president of the Medef, Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux, for its part, has asked the government to “review the sanitary protocols that apply in the company” to accelerate the “return to normal”. “The executive should say to the French : it is time, while respecting the gestures of the barriers to return to work and consume,” urges-t-he in an interview with newspaper Les Echos.
déconfinement the school in question
A déconfinement more flexible is also requested by the world of culture. Among the last taken of speech, the actor Philippe Torreton was asked this Thursday, June 11, on France info “to open the theatres, cinemas, concert halls”. The actor, who indicates that it is registered for the first time at the Pole to use during the confinement, believes that “the culture sector, in absolute value, it is much more than the sector automobile French”. “I have not heard Bruno Le Maire (minister of Economy – ED.) is erect to call to save the cultural sector in French”, said he.
Several voices were raised also among individuals and particularly among the parents of students caught between their employers who want to mobilize their teams to see rise rapidly their turnover and the schools, which are still only very partially the students. A forum was published in Liberation on 4 June by a group of parents of students in Paris and Lyon. Entitled “Less protocol, more school!” she calls for a return to more broad of all the children in the classes. Others go even further, as in Aubervilliers, where a group of parents of students has filed a recourse before the administrative court of Montreuil to ask for the reopening of “all” in primary schools and a host more regular children.
