"There are no extra beds, there is no staff that we would need."
"It all smacks of mess"
"And we hoped that would happen," he continued, citing "the reasoning of those who say to themselves' the population has to auto-immunize by dint of catching it, it will generate antibodies and therefore l 'epidemic will decrease as is the case with influenza' ".
As the journalist pointed out to him that this is not the strategy chosen by France, the member for Bouches-du-Rhône considered that "it looks like it".
"When nothing is organized, you say 'why?', You cannot assume that they are incapable, you say to yourself 'they have an idea in their head'", he added. .

Jean-Luc Mélenchon again said he feared "the way in which the population would take new extremely strict containment measures".
