It's no. By the voice of the Minister of Health, the government refused Anne Hidalgo's request to "loosen the noose" in Paris. After the images of the crowded Canal Saint-Martin on the first evening of deconfinemen t, the city councilor asked for "more space" for Parisians. The mayor of a city with "one of the highest densities in the world" wanted to "reopen the parks and gardens" to the inhabitants so that they could "walk or get some fresh air".
The Minister of Health replied at the end of the morning to Anne Hidalgo: "We will not open the parks in Paris in regions classified red". Olivier Véran fears "that people come together too much and do not respect groups of 10". The Minister recalled that France is living under the threat of reconfiguration: "If we do not respect the barrier gestures, the virus will start again. So we will be forced to put new constraints ”.
