Opponents of the real estate project on the Grande Bastide site in Velleron (Vaucluse) once again obtained the support of a celebrity. After Grand Corps Malade, who came to join the demonstration of the opponents on October 26, it is the singer Renaud, who came as a neighbor of Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, who came this Sunday to support the entrance of the site, posts the collective on its Facebook page.
For several weeks, a collective, supported by the mayor, has been protesting against the construction of 200 housing units on the heights of the village. Several residents have taken turns on the site in recent days to interfere with the start of the site. They consider the project “disproportionate” and fear seeing their village “disfigured”. The president of the company responsible for the development, for his part, claims to have obtained the building permits legally and argues that the environmental studies have been validated.
