Rage against the covid

Editorial published on January 29, 2021

Violent riots erupted in the Netherlands on Monday, January 25 after the Dutch government announced a curfew (the first since World War II) and new health restrictions. Forced to adopt restrictive measures that it had managed to avoid until now, the country is in shock. For its part, France, on the eve of announcing a probable reconfinement, also fears social revolt movements as the new hashtag #JeNeMeConfineraPas circulates.
Since the beginning of the health crisis, the United States has undoubtedly been the first country to see the emergence of these anti-mask and anti-vaccine movements which, often taken up by the extreme right, now seem to be gaining ground in Europe.
This violence reflects above all the distress that weighs on our societies and, more particularly, on our young people. Isolation, depression, precariousness… Their uncertain future is cause for concern and puts politics to the test in the management of this epidemic resurgence.
