The former minister and founder of the Puy-du-Fou park Philippe de Villiers reported Tuesday a disagreement between Emmanuel Macron and Edouard Philippe on the pace of deconfinement, the head of state believing that his Prime Minister was more careful because he had to "manage his criminal risk". "On May 17, I had a conversation with Emmanuel Macron and I said to him: 'why is he doing this, Philippe, why don't we deconfine faster?' He said to me, 'Philippe, he is managing his criminal risk', ”said the former minister and former president of the sovereignist movement Mouvement pour la France on BFMTV.
Very offensive to demand the reopening of the theme parks, Philippe de Villiers made reference to the fact that the members of the government are criminally responsible for the actions taken under their function, unlike the President of the Republic. Many complaints have been filed against the executive for its management of the epidemic. "There was a disagreement between them" on the pace of deconfinement, continued the sovereignist. "And Macron is quite bitter to see that Edouard Philippe is more popular than him, because, in fact, he (Emmanuel Macron) wanted to deconfinate faster. That's what he told me. He said to me, 'If not, the country will die,' ”he added.
Decision by SMS
Emmanuel Macron decided to start deconfinement as of May 11, earlier than what was recommended by the Scientific Council and part of his entourage. The Head of State then authorized the reopening of Puy-du-Fou on June 11. A decision that he had communicated to Philippe de Villiers by an SMS that the sovereignist made public, with his agreement, in which he said to him, sometimes in capital letters: "DECISION taken this morning in DEFENSE counsel: we are starting today" Today work for the reopening of the June 2 target. Mandate is given to the prefect to start work today. "
Previously, the founder of the Puy-du-Fou park had decreed "general mobilization" to demand the reopening of the theme park. “Restaurants and zoos will open on June 2. I had Edouard Philippe on the phone: he refused the reopening of Puy-du-Fou, contrary to the word of the president. They want to break us, "he said on Twitter, then spoke of" discrimination "in an interview with Valeurs actuals .
