For several days, a large part of Paris has been submerged in garbage shunned by thousands of garbage collectors. And for good reason, the latter currently on strike are contesting the pension reform. As pointed out by our colleagues from “BFMTV”,“5,000 tons of waste” piled up for the moment in the streets of the capital. In the midst of turmoil, the population is also wondering about the health risks due to this situation…
“People will not be attacked by rats, because they will have plenty of food and they will not attack passers-by”assured Jean-Paul Hamon, general practitioner on the set of “BFM TV” on March 12. “So apart from the aesthetic side, smells, perhaps, from slipping on a banana peel, the risk is more than minimal”. Same story for Anne Sourys in charge of Public Health and EELV deputy at the town hall of Paris. For the politician, only a problem of “comfort and quality of life” would be to be feared in the days to come.
“The only thing the rat carries is leptospirosis, which the garbage collectors know about”, she told our colleagues. “There is a vaccine and there are extremely few cases today.” This Monday, March 13, 2023 in “TPMP”,Cyril Hanouna and his columnists debated on this subject with a garbage collector named Ludovic. If he understands the anger of the inhabitants, he is not about to return to work if the government refuses to make machine.

“Why aren’t they on strike?!”
“With this reform they want to sell us sh*t, well we’re just going to leave the sh*t on the sidewalk”, he said, facing the camera. “I just have one question”, launched Géraldine Maillet at her address. “All the arrondissements in Paris do not have the same fate […]. Districts that work with private garbage collectors, for example […]. I wanted to know, is the hardship for private garbage collectors the same as for yours? Why aren’t they on strike? !”.
“It’s up to them to strike now, because we are also fighting for them”replied his interlocutor. “Financially, it’s complicated, you shouldn’t believe. Me, I went on strike for three days, there I have 225 euros less on my salary and I will continue. I will find help. No matter what who arrives later, that’s the most important thing. We fight for us, for our children […]”.
The opportunity for the guest of Cyril Hanouna to challenge the current tenant of the Élysée : “This is the future of our country, at some point, I want to say to Mr. Macron, ‘let’s calm down and talk about it’. Really, because this is very important “. A cry from the heart that has been strongly commented on social networks : “I find it shameful to pay garbage collectors badly, because they do a wonderful job. Without them, French cities would be filthy”, “Total support for strikers”, “We have to do actions that are visible and disturbing since the people are not listened to”, “Bravo to the garbage collectors”.
