REPORTAGE
Two days after the fire of Lubrizol factory in Rouen, the inhabitants of the neighborhood of this site classified Seveso do not fade. They denounce the lack of transparency of the authorities in the management of this crisis, while the Health Minister Agnès Buzyn admitted on the spot, Friday night, that the city was "clearly polluted".
"We know everything will not go well"
In the first place, the inhabitants regret the lack of information transmitted in the night of Wednesday to Thursday, when declared fire of this factory in edge of the Seine. They were not evacuated, the town hall services were unreachable and firefighters and police officers were overflowing with activity.
"They tried to make us sleep by telling us that everything was fine, we know that everything will not go well, nobody believes here," denounces Gwenaelle, who has lived here for 14 years. "We know very well that what we breathe is not good at all, and it will not be better in the years to come."
Urbanization to review?
The question now arises of whether the urbanization of this bank of the Seine, not far from the city center of the agglomeration, was not problematic. "We are closer to the company, why the mayor has built pavilions and housing in places where there are factories Seveso It should be banned!" Remi trapped.
The disgruntled residents have created a collective and prepare a petition that they will pass on to the mayor on Tuesday night, asking for more transparency. At least five complaints against X residents and businesses will be filed Monday.
