The firefighters went to the site, as did a person in charge of the Departmental House for the Disabled (MDPH). The public authority assured that this woman had been received "at the end of January, at the beginning of February" and that she would have "obtained success on all his requests". A notification for a mutualist School Life Auxiliary (AVS) would have been issued.

She goes down after negotiations

The woman's demands were written on a banner which she deployed on the crane. She was precisely asking for an AVS as well as news on the progress of her case.

After several hours of negotiations, the mother finally came back down in the early afternoon, says France 3 Normandie . She was then interviewed by the police to explain her action.
