In the Clos Saint-Lazare district, a good part of the building blocks have been renovated. For the elementary school principal, the priority project for the upcoming election looks like an ideal: “Equal opportunities everywhere. But that’s not always a reality. Next year, we’re being cut from positions, even though we have the same number of students. It’s a shame, because it’s a sensitive area, where you have to help the students even more, and that you don’t do it.”
Christiana, 30, who has just brought her children to school, is looking for a job. “They put us in an eight-storey tower, now it’s being demolished, we’re going to move. Well, it’s been supposed to be demolished for ten years. We’re in the only tower without a digital code and so we have tramps in our building. It’s really free access. It’s toilets, the stairs. I can’t exterminate the cockroaches. And there are some, they have rats in addition.” The presidential election does not mobilize it: “Even if I will vote, I will vote blank”.
