This trip was to be placed under the sign of work and consultation, around the theme of the City.

In Grenoble, Jean Castex was especially heckled by a dozen antivax demonstrators, shouting "Castex in prison", "Assassin", "Shame of France".

He also faced residents complaining of “damaged” buildings, apartments infested with bed bugs and the closure of local businesses.

“The neighborhood is dying, we have nothing left.

Even to go to a tobacconist, you have to travel several kilometres, “said a resident.

Friday, the environmentalist mayor of Grenoble, Eric Piolle, had castigated this trip "of a skewer of ministers who come to hold a meeting that they could hold in Paris" and who "take the cities of France for a zoo", "to 70 days of the presidential election”.

In fact, Jean Castex was accompanied by several ministers (Olivier Véran, Emmanuelle Wargon, Nadia Hai and Nathalie Elimas) for this interministerial committee.

Extended “learning holidays”

But the Gersois is not the type to let himself be dismantled.

Asked by a man about the difficulties of professional integration, the Prime Minister insisted on education and training.

He announced to "extend and strengthen" the educational city of Echirolles-Grenoble, and label 74 other cities to reach a total of 200 throughout the territory.

The Prevention Battalions, which bring together educators and mediators in priority neighborhoods, see their resources made permanent for an additional year, until December 31, 2023. "We are doing everything to ensure that everyone has the same opportunities, provided to give themselves the means and take the trouble.

But the Republic takes care of everyone”, he promised a resident of the Essarts district, while the model of “learning holidays” will be made permanent for the summer.

“Sew the Nation”

To the resident who questioned him about the shops, the Prime Minister replied “to understand that there is exasperation, expectations.

I am here to observe, to listen, but also to say that we are moving forward”.

Meeting local elected officials and residents of the priority neighborhoods of the Essarts and La Villeneuve city policy in Echirolles, Jean Castex reaffirmed the State's commitment in the territories, to "improve the daily life of our fellow citizens ".

The committee, which is being held a year after the last one organized in Grigny in Essonne, aimed to "see the progress" of urban renewal, associative and educational projects launched thanks to an additional investment of 3.3 billion euros. euros, including 1.1 billion from the recovery plan.

For the Prime Minister, it was also an opportunity to affirm a desire: "to stitch up the Nation".
