While the social protest against the pension reform seems to be running out of steam, the unions hope to mobilize again on Wednesday, on the eve of the decisive vote in the National Assembly. But what should we already expect in transport? “There will be no black day,” warned Clément Beaune on Tuesday. Asked about France 2, the Minister in charge of Transport however affirmed that certain disturbances were to be expected.
“On the Île-de-France side, we know that there will be few disruptions at the RATP. Buses and metros should operate normally, but there will be more disruption on some RER lines,” he said. On the side of the SNCF, the situation will be more “degraded”. “There will be some disturbances at the SNCF: this Tuesday, we still have two out of three TGVs and one out of two TERs. It should be more degraded tomorrow”.
A less “penalizing” day in public transport
Regarding the air sector this time, the minister provides “20% canceled flights” Wednesday, only at Orly airport. “When we look at the overall situation, we will not be in the levels of disruption in public transport that we experienced during certain days of mobilization”, continued the minister. “It will normally be less penalizing, less disabling. »
“Paris, a giant trash can”
The strike also continues on the side of the garbage collectors. In Paris, the volume of uncollected waste continues to rise, as does the tone between the government and the town hall. Clément Beaune insisted on the responsibility of the mayor of the capital, Anne Hidalgo, who does not “take any emergency measures”. “It’s not the garbage collectors on strike that are a problem for me, it’s Anne Hidalgo who is on strike herself! She does not do anything. Zero action and radio silence”, he insisted, judging that “Paris had become a giant trash can, an open-air trash can. »
