A stable volume of waste for a week
Asked, the CGT manager, the majority union in the sector, did not respond immediately.
The strikes and blockades of these exit points for the capital's waste have contributed, along with the strike by the garbage collectors of the City of Paris, to the accumulation of waste in the capital for almost three weeks, to the great displeasure of the inhabitants and tradespeople.
Thursday, 9,600 tons of garbage littered the Parisian sidewalks, a volume that has been generally stable for a week despite the requisitions ordered by the police headquarters.
In the evening, garbage cans were set on fire in the narrow streets of the Opera district, among the many violence and clashes with the police which marked the day of mobilization against the pension reform.
