Guest of the morning of Europe 1, the former Minister of Health and now LREM candidate for mayor of Paris Agnès Buzyn returned to the management of the coronavirus crisis.

INTERVIEW

When she was at the Ministry of Health, Agnès Buzyn was she aware of the shortage of masks that would hit France in the event of a pandemic? After more than three months of health crisis, the time has come. According to Liberation, a letter dated September 26, 2018, mentioned during the parliamentary commission of inquiry on the management of the coronavirus crisis, proves that the Director General of Health, Jérôme Salomon, had been very clearly warned of the shortage and risks in the event of a health crisis. At the microphone of Europe 1 on Saturday, the former Minister of Health did not wish to react, reserving her answers for the national representation.

"My frustration today is not being able to speak"

"I owe all of my explanations to the parliamentary commission of inquiry," said the former health minister, who will testify the day after the second round of the municipal elections. "I will give my explanations to the parliamentary commission of inquiry and with great pleasure," insisted Agnès Buzyn, refusing to answer our microphone.

"It is the representation of the French and the hearings are public," she explains. "I want to speak to them and my frustration today is not being able to do so," concludes the LREM candidate for mayor of Paris.
