The 30,000 beneficiaries of the Isère association were to benefit from this equipment.
A call for donations launched
Two new vehicles were also destroyed. “For me, the people who did this are not a person, they are a group…if they have a little humanity in them they say to themselves ‘we shouldn’t have touched an association’, maybe no matter the association, an association serves the population. What are we going to say to the families? We can’t help you because thugs carried out a ransacking, a looting, on Christmas Eve ?”adds Nabil Chetouf.
Sylvette Rochas, deputy mayor of Échirolles in charge of solidarity, came to the site to see the damage, she denounces relentlessness. “We are in a kind of delirium and dehumanization of human behavior which really calls out.” Secours populaire called for solidarity and launched a call for witnesses to try to find the perpetrator(s) of this burglary.
