"
All the proposals are useful, especially when they do not deny the reality of the facts and they seek to find solutions
", reacted on France Inter Gabriel Attal.
But “
there would obviously be an impact and difficulties for families in terms of organization
” because “
that implies closing schools, which has always been for us, and what remains, a last resort, because we knows the educational cost, the social cost,
”he recalled.
"
It is a proposal which was formulated last night, it is not me, here, this morning, as spokesperson for the government, who will answer you
", he added while he was revived on this subject.
But "
if your question is whether, yesterday in defense council when we discussed the measures, we decided to bring the holidays forward, the answer is no,
”he said.
"
I wonder if the right measure would not be to bring the school holidays forward by 15 days in order to close the schools on April 2,
"
Valérie Pécresse
declared Wednesday March 24 in
Paris Match
who made the proposal to the prefect.
Spring holidays are set this year from April 17 to May 3 in Île-de-France.
"
It's a good idea
" and "
the government, no matter where it comes from this idea, it should retain it
", estimated for his part the boss of senators LR Bruno Retailleau at the microphone of
Sud Radio
Thursday 25 March.
