Barely re-elected in Grenoble, the ecological mayor Eric Piolle seems to be holding his first fight: preventing the deployment of 5G. He explains on Monday on his Twitter account having sent a letter to the government in March "to ask for a moratorium". The elected EELV indeed assumes "the blocking of work on the antennas" in Grenoble, while "experiments have been done behind our backs".
# 5G📡📲 Telephony operators are taking legal action against the City of Grenoble because we are blocking the work (started in secret ...) on the antennas. I will continue to ask for a moratorium: nothing is clear on health and I am skeptical about the hypernumerization of our lives pic.twitter.com/SNNLCkWUMK
- Éric Piolle (@EricPiolle) July 6, 2020In conflict before the courts with telephone operators, the mayor of Grenoble points to "a major environmental dimension": "4% of greenhouse gases are linked to digital technology and it is said that it will double in five years".
"I like slightly provocative shortcuts"
It is on this point that Eric Piolle came up against the usefulness of 5G: "We are going to connect everything to tell you that you have three yogurts in your fridge and that you can start your toaster from your bed". "It is total delirium, this kind of race ahead scandalizes me," he points out, wanting to prioritize in France "the deployment of the Internet in white areas".
Guest of the Grand Jury RTL, Le Figaro , LCI on Sunday , Eric Piolle even cracked a funny punchline: "Is progress being able to watch porn movies in HD?" Because roughly speaking, 5G is to allow you to watch porn movies in HD, even when you are in your elevator ”. "I like the slightly provocative shortcuts," said the environmental mayor of Grenoble. Slightly, then.
