“My dear compatriots, tomorrow we will have to learn the lessons of the moment we are going through, to question the development model to which our world has been committed for decades and which reveals its flaws in broad daylight, to question the weaknesses of our democracies. What this pandemic is already revealing is that free health care, regardless of income, background or profession, and our welfare state are not costs or burdens but precious goods, indispensable assets when fate strikes. What this pandemic reveals is that there are goods and services that must be placed outside the laws of the market. Delegating our food, our protection, our ability to look after our living environment to others is madness. We must regain control of it, build even more than we already do a France, a sovereign Europe, a France and a Europe that firmly hold their destiny in their hands. The coming weeks and months will require decisions to break with this. I will take them.”
