LIVE – School health protocol: a large-scale national strike expected this Thursday – LCI

PROFESSIONAL SALARY

On the upgrading of teachers, Manuel Valls believes that it will be necessary to “continue the efforts” made during this five-year term and the previous one. “In the French misfortune, there is the situation of our school.” “The status of our teachers was so powerful.”

70% OF SCHOOLS CLOSED IN BÉZIERS

About “70% of schools will be closed” in Béziers. “It is difficult to replace those who are not there. Honestly, I have never seen that: such unanimity to say that it is a mess”, is surprised on Europe 1 Robert Ménard. “People can’t take it any longer. There is fatigue. It’s been going on for two years, we don’t know what to do with children,” says the mayor of Béziers. “There is a kind of arrogance” on the part of the executive “which is unbearable. I have in mind Olivier Véran who is certainly right every two weeks, while changing his mind every two weeks,” concludes the support of Marine Le Pen.

INTERVIEW

“I regret that we do not put an asset of France, which was the opening of schools,” notes LCI Manuel Valls. “We are not at the end of the consequences of an unprecedented crisis,” “we can tell that there is a form of weariness. Everyone must be careful.”

On those who call on Jean-Michel Blanquer to resign, the former Prime Minister considers that he “is a great Republican”.

A NEW HEALTH PROTOCOL “WITH DIALOGUE”

“No, we are not for the closing of schools”, assures on France Info Laurent Berger, secretary general of the CFDT, who is asking for a new health protocol “with dialogue”. “We need a framework. If there are not two thirds of the students in the class, it is complicated to operate and no one can continue to provide education,” he takes as a reference.

“There is a very, very strong exasperation,” he adds. His union joined the protest movement on Thursday. “It is not a strike against the virus, it is a strike against the lack of consultation, against a form of contempt, the change of the rules permanently”, criticizes Laurent Berger.

SUPPORT FROM ÉRIC ZEMMOUR

“I consider the teachers’ strike to be legitimate, the government is rotting the lives of children and teachers”, lambasted in the morning of France 2, Eric Zemmour, presidential candidate. The former polemicist assures us “to see children cry, refuse to go to school (…) and teachers who can no longer teach properly.”

“You have to live with the virus. This epidemic is becoming endemic,” points out the far-right candidate.

MASSIVE STRIKE IN SCHOOLS

It is a black Thursday which announces itself today in the schools, colleges and high schools. After two years of health crisis, and two years of protocols in the face of successive waves of Covid-19, National Education staff are saying stop.

This Thursday, a dozen unions and representative organizations of first and second degrees, in the public or private, agricultural education and vocational high schools, bringing together teachers, directors, nurses, call for a strike to protest against the government management of the health crisis.

The Federation of Parents’ Councils (FCPE) has also asked parents not to send their children to school benches.
