Two days after the “special energy” Codeco, it is the turn of the social services to issue their cry of alarm. A sector tired by repeated crises, which fears not being able to face this new obstacle.
Pressure is mounting for social services. “Frontline social workers were already very tired before the crises, so this fatigue is increasing“, recognizes Céline Nieuwenhuys, secretary general of the Federation of social services. Crises are repeated, and for her, the greatest danger is that social anger will only increase with the coming winter.
The danger is that we have social anger that increases, that social anger meets the fatigue of social workers
“Today, we really have to be very attentive to the fact that people are rejecting what we no longer want and no longer desire what we want for tomorrow. It can really create complicated things in our democracies“, she warns.
“The danger is that social anger increases and meets the fatigue of social workers. And that little by little we are in a rejection of politics and that this is felt on the vote of 2024.“
