Macron ally hits out at new UK quarantine policy
A senior member of France’s ruling party, En March!, has criticised Boris Johnson’s approach to the coronavirus pandemic and the UK’s new quarantine policy.
Bruno Bonnell, a close ally of Emmanuel Macron, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “Europe should be as open as possible – even though we have Brexit happening.
“It’s a disappointment that the UK is excluding itself from Europe with this decision.”
Mr Bonnell added: “I’ve been discussing Mr Johnson’s policy for a long time now and I’ve discovered that it’s always a ‘Blame it on someone else’ attitude.”
From 8 June, almost all arrivals at British airports, ferry ports and international rail terminals will be required to self-isolate for 14 days.
