"
The discontent of small traders as well as elected officials, it must be heard"
argued François Pupponi, Monday, on the
Talk Le Figaro
plateau
, while emphasizing the general confusion
"between open and closed shops
".
Fairly critical of the government, the deputy for Val-d'Oise criticizes it for its lack of anticipation and its lack of preparation.
"
We knew for a month that it was surely necessary to reconfine,
" says the former mayor of Sarcelles, "
therefore, we could have taken the time to prepare the ground,
" he adds.

Rather inclined to listen to his common sense, the elected official believes that "
we will not reopen before January
".
His reasoning is simple: "
If you reopen at the beginning of December, people will have a party, there will be Christmas, the New Year and therefore the virus will be able to circulate again
."
Reason for which he invites the executive to take its responsibilities and to anticipate, by saying "
that one goes until the end of December, then after one sees what happens
".
"
But that, it is preparing, it is organized
", hammers the elected.
We can see that the administration applies the texts without going to see concretely what that means, territory by territory
Francois Pupponi
Another criticism that the former socialist makes to the government, a management "
too centralized
".
For Corsica, we must "
try to adapt locally
" since
"we can see that the administration applies the texts without going to see concretely what that means, territory by territory
" he insists.
In general, what bothers the Liberties and Territories MP the most "
is this inability of the current government to prepare for the next time
."
Broken promises
However, he welcomes "
an exceptional work of support for the French economy
" by Bruno Le Maire, assuring that "
everything that
(the latter)
has done, he has done",
supported in the National Assembly by voting on "
important texts
".
"
The petty trade crisis is not only with the Covid"
underlines the deputy.
If the crisis only worsens the situation continues François Pupponi, he recalls that they already had difficulties before.
But "
there, the crisis will make them disappear
", he laments, inviting everyone to "
help them survive for now and for the future
".

Originally from Corsica, the situation on the Isle of Beauty also worries him.
Corsica being above all a tourist island, "
between 30 and 40% of the local economy, it is tourism", "globally people have suffered a lot
" regrets Pupponi.
"
I am very surprised by the way in which the government manages the file
" denounces the deputy a bit disillusioned by the broken promises of the President and the Prime Minister who had planned a specific text for Corsica, in order to save the local economy.
