🇫🇷Feux de Gironde : le président de la DFCI avoue que les pompiers sont allés protéger les villas des stars au Cap-Ferret Lors des incendies au Porge, le président de la DFCI a raconté qu’il était content de voir arriver des colonnes de pompiers au port.

Laurent Nunès s’est fait piéger en parlant de « posture politique ». Le Premier ministre a été hué dès son arrivée en Gironde.
