It's no. The Secretary of State for Transport has dismissed the idea of Carole Delga (PS), the president of the Occitania region, to ask the motorway companies to make tolls free this summer to give a boost to the sector tourism.
On BFM TV, he responded to the chosen one, not without irony. "If Carole Delga wants to reimburse the toll level to concession companies in Occitania, I invite her to get in touch with the dealers in question," said Jean-Baptiste Djebbari.
"Playing politics", Mr. Djebbari, is taking care of people!

A “somewhat political” proposition
"Solidarity has been exercised in all areas, including motorway concessionaires, which have enabled the reimbursement of toll costs to nursing staff," continued the Secretary of State for Transport on Tuesday morning. This proposal is a bit political, and in practical and contractual terms, it is quite ineffective. Dealers are still needed to make major investments in the coming weeks. We will ask them a lot. "
"" Playing politics "means taking care of people!" Replied Carole Delga on Twitter. This is why I am asking for an act of national solidarity on the part of the motorway companies for the purchasing power of the French and the support for tourist jobs. "
