A new missive to the intention of Édouard Philippe. On Tuesday, may 26, Xavier Bertrand (ex-RL) and Jean Rottner (LR) have written to Edward Philip to urge him to "ratify promptly the passing in green zone" of the Hauts-de-France and the Great eastern. These two regions are still in the red. The correspondence to which the Agency France-Presse has obtained a copy emphasizes that" in the light "of public Health data in France" and at least that of implicit criteria which are not expressly stated in the regulations in force are applied, it is little understandable that our regions are still in red on the map of France as the health situation does not justifies it more."
