" Of course, we must generalize the wearing of masks, " said on LCI Manuel Bompard, head of the LFI delegation to the European Parliament, before adding: " But generalizing also means making sure that everyone can do it. have access. The cost of the mask is a significant cost ”. For the elected leftist, to charge the mask, " it is the opposite of the public health system ".

" Today you have large distribution which makes margins on the selling prices of masks and measures which make the mask compulsory, which in fact play into the game of large distribution ", deplores Mr. Bompard.

On the other side of the political spectrum, at the National Rally, we are also asking for this free for all, through the voice of Laurent Jacobelli, party spokesman, Tuesday on Franceinfo .

According to him, " the government took the rather wise decision to spread the use of the mask in confined places " but " we must clarify the doctrine " and " that these masks are free for the French population. We cannot have health discrimination between homes that can afford masks and be protected and those that cannot ”.

Other political leaders, from the Republicans to the PS through the Communist Party had already spoken in favor of this free mask.
