For the union official, "the President of the Republic has just fractured French society" with a measure applied unequally depending on the area.

"The curfew would have been totally acceptable and legitimate for all French people if it had been decreed throughout the country. One week before the All Saints holidays, we will invite those who will be in the metropolises It will move the problem to other areas where there is no curfew. "

"Rather paradoxical decision"

This is what Thierry Grégoire calls "a phenomenon of nomadism": "When you are in Toulouse, you can go 10 km and you will no longer be in the metropolis of Toulouse. You could very well go to dinner tomorrow in a restaurant which , he will not have the application of the curfew. "
