Emmanuel Macron should announce, Tuesday evening, an easing of the confinement, thanks to the improvement of the health situation.

But this relaxation of the constraints represents a real headache for the executive, which must constantly deal with recriminations from new sectors.

DECRYPTION

Above all, do not call it "deconfinement": the executive has been hammering for several weeks now that the partial loosening of the constraints weighing on the French will have nothing to do with what was achieved last May.

Tuesday evening, Emmanuel Macron will therefore logically act to ease the confinement in the face of the coronavirus.

But by loosening the grip on one sector, the government each time finds itself confronted with another sector, which in turn requires fewer constraints.

To the point of creating a real "domino effect".

Coronavirus: follow the evolution of the situation Tuesday, November 24

From the moment when the government considered resuming masses around December 1 and, at the same time, non-essential businesses also demanded their reopening, other places open to the public have requested the same.

By offering, moreover, exactly the same health protocols.

What about hair salons?

A ministerial adviser poses another problem, this time around the regulatory kilometer: "How can we authorize Christmas shopping while prohibiting taking walks without meeting anyone?"

This is one of the questions that the Defense Council will have to decide on Tuesday, before the presidential address.

Another adviser also explains that "if we authorize home services again, we have no other choice but to reopen hairdressing salons and beauty institutes".

What generate new frustrations in the event of refusal, while traders and independents have expressed their fed up, Monday afternoon.

Without Christmas, a longer confinement?

To the government, it seems almost endless.

The same question arises for gauges: if non-essential businesses can reopen with a one person for eight square meters gauge, should the gauge be the same in places of worship?

Why not reopen cinemas, theaters and performance halls with this same gauge?

In truth, these questions also illustrate an unknown summarized by a minister: “Basically, we do not really know if this plan and these dates are good”.

And to conclude: "If we had not been just before Christmas, we would probably have remained confined much longer."
