The French Executive announced on Friday the imposition of the return to work of certain strikers, alleging that this strike is a risk to the health of Parisians.
However, the execution of this order slowed down because the mayoress of the city, the socialist and opposition to Macron Anne Hidalgo, denied to cooperate with the instruction, in solidarity with the strike of their own employees.
One of the neighborhood mayors most critical of Hidalgo’s attitude towards the strike, the conservative Geoffroy Boulard (XVII district), told the BFMTV channel that the imposition decreed by the government is a step forwardalthough he asked for time to see the effects of it.
This morning, a good part of the Parisians found themselves again with mountains of uncollected rubbish.
