Across Europe, tens of thousands of people lost relatives in the first wave of Covid-19. Were we ready for a pandemic? Many criticise the unpreparedness and negligence displayed by governments and are organising themselves to hold their political and health authorities to account. For the first time, this report from Temps Présent takes a look at these citizen mobilizations in Switzerland, Austria and Italy, and gives a voice to those who are calling for the justice system to fulfil its duty.
