the rebellious deputy Louis Boyard calls for a parliamentary commission of inquiry

In the wake of new revelations on asbestos, the political class reacts. More than 26 years after its banthousands of schools still house this dangerous insulation for the body, as revealed by franceinfo and “Vert de rage” in a survey. LFI deputy Louis Boyard announced on Wednesday June 14 that he was going to ask for the creation of a parliamentary commission of inquiry into the presence of asbestos in, according to him, “eight out of ten classes”denouncing a “health bomb” and the “criminal passivity” of the government.

“Asbestos, when you breathe it, a single fiber is enough, you can catch different cancers”observed the very young MP on BFM TVrecalling that schools have been “built in the 1960s-1970s with asbestos which was banned in 1997”. Establishments today “collapsing in on themselves”according to the elected rebellious.

The commission of inquiry that Louis Boyard wishes to create “in a transpartisan manner” would in particular aim to“Organize samples in all schools with asbestos”, by means of a wipe rather than a pump, not very effective according to him. Detection using a wipe has not yet been approved in France. It would then be a matter of creating a “public renovation fund” schools.
