Judging that placing the French in a form of “voluntary prison” is “not a lasting solution”, the leader of LFI Jean-Luc Mélenchon estimated, this Monday, that the question of deconfinement should arise “as of now "
"We have just postponed the confinement for two weeks, but no one has evaluated what would allow us to lift it." The question of deconfinement should arise now, "said Jean-Luc Mélenchon in an interview with the Obs , while confinement must continue at least until April 15.
"It's the voluntary prison"
"The neoliberal rulers were unable to foresee the entry of the crisis" and "did not begin to think either how to really overcome it (apart from confinement, the equivalent of the medieval quarantine), nor obviously the exit ”, he added. "Forced confinement is necessary, but that should not make us forget that it is voluntary prison," insisted Jean-Luc Mélenchon, noting that "65 million people have put themselves in prison and are monitoring themselves" .
The leader of the rebels also reiterated his criticisms of the warrior vocabulary used by the executive, in particular Emmanuel Macron, in the face of the coronavirus epidemic, deeming it "absurd". "It is intended to suggest a heroic role for the head of state. It also has the function of forcing "silence in the ranks", "denounced Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
"The next world has to start now"
"This will to prevent any discussion will continue and even harden, because the governors are afraid that their criminal responsibility will be called into question. I fear the evolution of this regime which has already manifested such heavy authoritarian tendencies, ”he adds.
And to underline that "the crisis we are experiencing has only just begun": "we discover with horror that Europe is almost as powerless against the coronavirus as it was in the 14th century against the black plague". For the LFI manager "the next world must start now". But in his eyes, "we must not dream", such a world "in Macron sauce will be a new neoliberal shock".
