INTERVIEW
About 500 people, according to police, marched in front of the courthouse of Rouen, Saturday afternoon. The reason ? A month after the fire of the chemical plant Lubrizol in Rouen, day by day, they demand answers on the health consequences of the fire.
Karima Delli, MEP Greens and chair of the Committee on Transport in the European Parliament, Saturday explained at the microphone of Europe 1: "We are entitled to know what will be the consequences, on the lives of residents but also on the environment A month later, we still do not know what they breathed. "
"We would have liked to have blood tests right now"
Among the signs waved by the protesters, the concern is felt with messages such as "Our past feels Lubrizol, our future smells of cancer" or "With Lubrizol, we die a little, but not too much". The state promised a health survey by March to the people who were under the smoke. "We would have liked to have blood tests and urine samples right now," Karima Delli said.
Frédéric Henri, the president of Lubrizol France, wants to turn the page. The company's goal is clear: get back to business as quickly as possible. Karima Delli warns: "When you have a very high SEVESO site, you always have to have controls, you also have to think about the location of these kind of factories, they should not be in the heart of the cities. .
