After the former President of the Republic François Hollande, Prime Minister Jean Castex was the guest this Sunday of journalist Samuel Etienne.

For more than an hour, the head of government answered questions from Internet users connected to Samuel Etienne's Twitch channel.

On this occasion, Jean Castex returned to the critical health situation in Ile-de-France, the progress of vaccination and the European withdrawals of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Renewed "confidence" in the vaccine

Jean Castex estimated Sunday that it was necessary to have "confidence" in the AstraZeneca vaccine.

"At this stage, we must have confidence in this vaccine and be vaccinated, I say it in the most solemn way, otherwise we will have delays in the vaccination, the French will be less protected and the health crisis will last a long time" , replied the head of government about doubts about the AstraZeneca vaccine.

"We did not suspend because we do not have, on the contrary, elements which lead us in France to suspend this vaccination", he argued, invited on the video game streaming platform.

"Worrisome" situation in Ile-de-France

Regarding a possible reconfinement of Ile-de-France, he replied: "Every day that passes is a day gained to avoid this confinement, but if it is necessary, as we have done elsewhere, as we did before, we will do it ”.

In the capital region, "the situation is worrying and we do not hide it", noted Prime Minister Jean Castex.

But he once again hammered that if confinement "is not excluded", "we must use all the weapons at our disposal to avoid it".

Because, with the approach of the anniversary date of the first national confinement, the French "are fed up", said the head of government.

"The closing of schools is the last extremity", also added the head of government.

This participation of Jean Castex in the live broadcast on Twitch of journalist Samuel Etienne of more than an hour is part of the will of the executive to reach a young target more reluctant to traditional media.
