This Tuesday evening the Métropole formulated a new request for requisition of agents. On France Bleu Provence, the elected official in Marseille for the ecological transition Sébastien Barles believes that the responsibility today rests on the shoulders of the Metropolis and therefore of its president Martine Vassal.
It is clear that it is Martine Vassal and the Metropolis who are responsible for the situation, for the stagnation of this situation which is intolerable. Marseille can no longer live under waste, under garbage – Sébastien Barles

This is indeed the 3rd garbage collectors’ strike in four months in Marseille. It is said for the requisition of the agents “We have to intervene, the situation can’t go on any longer”.
The elected official for the ecological transition who is also worried about the ecological consequences of this new strike which affects the city of Marseille. He speaks of an “ecocide” and a catastrophe to come “this weekend the mistral will rise, we will still have tons of waste in the Mediterranean, so it’s more tolerable and really unbearable for all Marseille residents”. He also believes that it is necessary “get out of this waste management policy and that waste must be recycled”.
