    Are these soldiers on the frontline in France’s many ongoing wars?

    … or some rhetorical bullshit to recategorise hospital staff as heros?

    My guess: it’s an attempt to focus on the good, take the focus away from the government and it’s incompetence at … well everything, but in particular at handling the covid epidemic.

    This is free for them, handing out passports. Improving the breathing conditions in the metros and nursing homes, that’s more expensive, and probably too intellectually difficult for those guys.

      It’s about as much politically charged lip service as the UK saying they’ll give citizenships to Hong Kongers wanting to escape from “EVIL CHINA REEEEE” (I don’t even know if they ever actually did, don’t really care).
