Covid: The Dawn of Fear, the Demise of a Democracy
Since the onset of COVID-19, crisis management in Europe—and particularly in France—has been chaotic. The government imposes inconsistent measures while exaggerating health risks to sugarcoat an unprecedented deprivation of our freedoms, all while the country sinks into a state of terror expertly distilled by much of the media.
The economy, jobs, local businesses, culture, and regions have never been so undermined—all in the name of the "public interest." This pretext is paradoxical, to say the least, as the public interest actually demands a swifter return to normal life. Yet, politicians persist in letting the guillotine of their arbitrary decisions fall upon democracy, further widening the gap between the wealthiest and the poorest (individuals, companies, and territories alike)—a renewed triumph for centralized and authoritarian governance.
Moving against the tide of political correctness, Denis Jacquet paints an uncompromising portrait of a France agonizing under the repeated blows of lockdowns and other absurd curfews. He speaks aloud what many leaders of companies, institutions, and federations cannot say for fear of being torn apart in the court of public opinion.
A deliberately controversial pamphlet designed to awaken consciences and revive the spirit.
