“It’s shocking”, admits Victor Lelaidier, a resident of Eysines near Bordeaux. Then after gunfire against a garbage truck Monday morning which injured one among the garbage collectors in the parking lot of a depot, he decided with other residents to launch a citizen action in support of the cleanliness officers of his municipality and The city.
He calls on the inhabitants to put up a poster “With you!” On each of their bins. “They are part of our daily life, they are always there for us and they are very important. Seeing them get shot is cold in the back. It may be a small action on our part but it is above all symbolic to show them our support, ”adds Victor Lelaidier.
No arrest for the moment
This Tuesday, a garbage collector is always hospitalized at CHU Pellegrin after being shot in the moment but his life is not in danger. He will file a complaint in the next few days. Monday morning, the tension rose very strong between the agents of the cleanliness and the travelers who had settled illegally in the parking lot of the Eysines depot on Sunday. Since then, the caravans have left the scene after being searched by the police. No arrests have taken place for the moment.
