Yesterday, during his conference, Prime Minister Jean Castex returned to this topic and specified that consultations are still underway with mountain elected officials and winter sports professionals.
Mr. Castex announced that he “will meet them tomorrow morning for the third time to better calibrate compensation measures.”
“We will not leave anyone by the wayside at a time when the economic crisis caused by the health crisis is increasing its social and psychological effects,” he promised.
These remarks can be interpreted as a willingness to favor compensation rather than the opening of ski lifts.
“Pecunia non olet,” said the Romans. Will that be enough to calm the nerves of ski industry operators and the elected officials zealous in their support?
