A-Infos (en) France, Union Communiste Libertaire UCL - Faced with the acceleration of contaminations, the government continues to take the ostrich (ca, de, it, fr, pt)[machine translation]

This Thursday, January 14, the Prime Minister gave us his self-satisfaction 
number again. As the situation worsens, Castex welcomes the strategy adopted in 
recent weeks of a 6 p.m. curfew. This measure is therefore extended to the entire 
metropolitan territory. France is shadokise, apart from going to work at work and 
still consuming a little, even on Sundays, nothing exists now. While we are 
running towards even more difficult days, the government takes the worst decision 
for the population but the one which is most in line with the interests of 
Capital. What does the government offer us? Go to work... for those who can still 
go to work. Students, unemployed, retirees, frail and / or isolated people just 
have to wait for better days with the crumbs they are generously granted and hope 
that effective vaccines will arrive. time. And if vaccination is the right 
solution, today many are those who doubt, doubts that will certainly not be swept 
away by the mistakes of this government which told us a few months ago that masks 
were useless ...

The announcements are linked without any plausibility concerns. Blanquer 
continues to deny the evidence of contamination in schools and accumulates 
eccentric announcements. School tests ? Screening capacities will be greatly 
strengthened, we are told, with the objective of carrying out 300,000 tests per 
week in schools. Knowing that since November only 100,000 have been carried out 
(while a million tests were stored at the ministry) and that National Education 
is 12 million students and 1 million workers ! As for evaluating the most 
suffering students ? Who will do it, according to what criteria ? These 
announcements are completely above ground and do not respond to current emergencies.

Since we only have our places of work to meet other people, let's go ! If we can 
only work, we will take the opportunity to organize ourselves even more with our 
colleagues. Dates of mobilizations have already been set in January: the 21st in 
health, the 23rd against layoffs, the 26th in education, the 28th in energy, the 
16th and 30th against the freedom-killing laws and on February 4 a 
inter-professional and inter-union mobilization.

Confinement or curfew, nothing will be satisfactory anyway as long as it is a 
question of safeguarding above all the interests of the capitalists. Their 
interests are not ours. The priority in the face of the health crisis today is 
the socialization of the entire health system and the production of vaccines. 
Starting today, let's self-manage our health before tomorrow self-manage all of 
our lives.
