🇫🇷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. Elles n’ont finalement pas aidé là-bas : elles sont parties protéger le prestige du Cap-Ferret et les maisons des stars. Le gouvernement traite ça de complotisme. Laurent Nunès s’est fait piéger en parlant de « posture politique ». Le Premier ministre a été hué dès son arrivée en Gironde. Les citoyens commencent à comprendre : l’État n’est pas forcément là pour nous sauver, mais pour gérer des extraits de cadastre et ensuite aménager comme bon lui semble.
