Medef president Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux pleaded on Sunday for an acceleration of deconfinement in order to save jobs " if it is confirmed that the pandemic is under control ", during the broadcast of the Grand Jury, RTL-LCI - Le Figaro . " If it is confirmed that the pandemic is under control, yes we must accelerate deconfinement because every day, every week costs the economy, and the faster we deconfinate, the faster we will go back to work, to consume, to travel, more quickly we will save jobs, "said Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux, a few hours before an address by the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron.

" Every day counts, " said the president of Medef, interviewed on the program Le Grand Jury. " I hear the scientific council which says 'this is the pandemic is under control' (...) so let's go ". " There is a little morphine side with all these aid systems " put in place to support the economy in the crisis, he added. “ Every day we go into debt, every day we spend money. We need to get out of the infusion as soon as possible . ”
He also declared himself in favor of a faster reopening of the schools: " there too, I hear the scientific council which says 'let's go' ". The children, who cannot all be taken in at present in schools and nurseries, " it forces parents to stay at home, so they are on partial unemployment, so they do not work, so we do not produce wealth ".
The epidemic of Covid-19 is currently " controlled " in France and the health rules for children at school could be lightened by the end of June, had recently estimated the president of the Scientific Council, Jean- François Delfraissy.
