"With such shortcomings, the landing of June 1944 would have failed."
The mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo (PS) does not forgive the government in an interview with the Journal du Dimanche.
To set up his vaccination plan against the coronavirus, he should have called on local elected officials, she believes.
Because "politics is the art of execution".
“I do not question the established order of vaccination, which begins with the most fragile.
But I still do not understand the delay in ignition ", reproaches the mayor of Paris, while" with the masks and the tests, we had encountered the same problems ", lessons should therefore have been learned.
It is on the logistics that the shoe pinches.
"The central power considers local communities not as allies but as counter-powers", "instead of calling on private firms like McKinsey to think about the strategy and logistics as decided by the government, it is local elected officials must be trusted ”.
This is something to upset Olivier Véran a little more, who, according to the Canard Enchaîné on Wednesday, sought in vain to join the mayor of Paris to talk about vaccination.
But Anne Hidalgo was going on vacation and planned to be unreachable.
In return, the Minister of Health was entitled to an attack in order Monday on France Info and then in our columns, on the part of Emmanuel Grégoire, the first deputy mayor of the capital.
And Hidalgo to put on a layer, with this embarrassing detail for Véran: “We offered to rent one or two super-freezers in Paris to be able to act faster;
the government does not want it.
These are very ideological points of view.
Decentralization requires a partnership link, not a link of subordination ”.
