Three months after a truck full of tar overturned
and dumped his cargo on the lane, the chosen one is desperate to see that”we had everything here: the Gave cleaned like a swimming pool ten years ago, tar… all that’s missing are the feathers, maybe a duck truck one of those four! I’m kidding, but it’s very serious what’s going on here. It is not for nothing that the mayors have asked that there is no longer any transport of hazardous materials in this valley”.
This accident occurs one month after the examination by the administrative court of Pau of a arrested, taken by the mayors of nine municipalities in the Aspe valley, prohibiting the transport of hazardous materials. The decision was reserved. “I don’t know what we’re actually waiting for, but one day there will be a disaster, that’s for sure”he regrets.
