The executive wants to be reassuring. A few hours after Emmanuel Macron’s criticism of “scary scenarios” given the risk of power outages this winter, Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne wanted to reassure people about the situation of people at high vital risk, in particular those who are under respirator. in case of load shedding.
“Contrary to what clumsy observations may have suggested, our hospitals will always be supplied with electricity and the sick in their homes will always be cared for,” he said during questions to the Government this Tuesday in the National Assembly.
Don’t “Stir False Fears”
The Prime Minister referred in particular to the statements by the Enedis spokesman on BFMTV on Monday. The latter stated that “people who are at high vital risk are not among the priority clients defined by the prefectures.” According to him, patients with artificial respirators are “non-priority” and “possibly detached”.
A speech that had the gift of annoying the executive. According to our information, Matignon has contacted Enedis for a reconsideration, after Emmanuel Macron himself rejected it from Tirana this Tuesday morning.
“Our responsibility is to plan all scenarios without pretense but without raising false fears”, added Elisabeth Borne in the floor.
Due to the historically low production of the nuclear park, possible power outages may occur this winter, in the event of particularly low temperatures.
