France.
The president keeps on dithering, not saying the proper words, leaving that part to the prime minister.
We were supposed to be quarantined from 16/03 to the end of the month. Well, now scientists have said that 6 weeks should be observed, we're still waiting for a sign from our great leaders.
Under former presidents, the hospital's been torn to pieces (if you speak leftist), and it's kept on well under Macron.
It's been a year now since nurses and doctors have mentioned that they were not given the means to achieve their goal.
But Macron, although young, is incredibly deaf.
It might not seem linked to the virus, but bear with me there's a connection:
From december to late january perhaps, there's been a good amount of strikes all over the country over a new reform on pensions.
Basically, pensions were calculated on your 25 best years (salary wise). Now, it's going to be calculated on all your working years. You've been unemployed when young ? That'll drag your pension down. You've been laid off once you reached 55 ? That'll drag your pension down. Etc.
So lots of strikes.
And all of a sudden, the PM decides that his reform will NOT be discussed by the deputies. No more. Too much opposition. There's a very strong bill in the constitution allowing to call the people we voted for to shut the fuck up.
Now, when did he decide all this?
During a council of ministers he had called on the topic of COVID-19...
What came out of that council?
A destruction of the pensions and nix on COVID-19...
