Concern over the country's health situation is winning over a large majority of French people.
According to a survey by the Odoxa-Dentsu Consulting institute for
Le Figaro
and Franceinfo, 79% are worried about the health of their loved ones and 53% say they are worried about themselves.
Government action thus remains severely judged.
For three-quarters of the population, the executive
"does not make the right decisions at the right time"
and does not
"know where it is going"
.
Worse, they continue to think that the government is
"not telling them the truth"
.
