Initially scheduled for March 17, this meeting had been postponed because Gerald Darmanin had been called to the front of the social fire caused by the use of 49.3 for the adoption of the pension reform. It is this Tuesday that the Minister of the Interior must go to Gironde and in particular to Teste-de-Buch, the scene of one of the two major fires of the summer of 2022. Expected at the end of the day, the boss of Place Beauvau will take part in a decoration ceremony for people who have contributed to the fight against the megafires.
Gérald Darmanin will be accompanied by Marc Fesneau, the Minister of Agriculture and Christophe Béchu, in charge of Ecological Transition, who will sign an agreement on the renewal of the state forest.
Will he also announce the arrival of Canadair aircraft based permanently in Gironde? Local elected officials who wish to improve response times to avoid a new conflagration are impatiently awaiting the response.
