Nicolas Rudin, mayor of the town, expressed his incomprehension accusing the government of a "
lack of listening
", and of having taken a "
decision too early
".
The mayor of Châtel describes to France Bleu his gesture as being “
peaceful
” and “
symbolic
”, wishing to find a solution between the two countries to respond to the health crisis.
Earlier in the day on Wednesday, Jean Castex explained at the microphone of BFMTV that "
the idea is to prevent the French from going to be contaminated in the stations of Switzerland
".
To do so, the government should establish a quarantine of seven days for vehicle passengers, French or foreign, who will return from Switzerland or Spain, border countries where ski resorts should remain open this winter.
