Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Friday that he was against a possible easing of the curfew at 9 p.m. for the entertainment world, on BFMTV / RMC.
"What makes the strength of a rule is its clarity and simplicity," said the minister, going against the hopes of his counterpart in Culture Roselyne Bachelot.
The Minister of the Economy, Bruno Le Maire, on Friday opposed an easing of the curfew at 9 p.m. for the entertainment world, as suggested the day before by his counterpart in Culture, Roselyne Bachelot.
When asked whether such an exemption was possible, Bruno Le Maire replied that "what makes the strength of a rule is its clarity and simplicity".
"If you start to increase the number of exemptions, to say 'for a given sector of activity, it won't be 9 p.m., it will be 10 p.m., for others it will be 10:30 p.m., for others it will be 11 p.m.', we won't not get away with it, ”he argued on BFMTV / RMC.
Roselyne Bachelot considered such a relaxation "plausible"
Thursday, Roselyne Bachelot had defended such an easing in favor of cinemas and theaters in an interview with
Le
Parisien
, while the curfew must come into force at the first hour on Saturday.
"It seems to me plausible (...) People take 30 minutes or even an hour to return, the time it takes, it is their ticket that would serve as proof," suggested the minister.
"Since Wednesday evening I have been in direct contact with the various actors of culture, theater, cinema and music. There is a very strong call coming from them for a relaxation," she added, introducing herself as "the mediator between the world of culture and the government".
