It is a video of Hugo Clément, posted on Tuesday on social networks, which set fire to the powder.

We see the journalist filming a mountain of waste, on a construction site in Anglet (Pyrénées-Atlantiques), located on the edge of the Aritxague stream.

A backhoe is covering the piles of plastic, clothing, a thin layer of soil.
