Sofian bientôt au cinéma

Despite his change of school, Luka still harassed

#GARD.Target of bullying and violence, Luka left his college in Hérault for an establishment in Gard where the acts did not stop. His mother testifies: "Upon his arrival, one of Luka’s teachers thought it appropriate to organize a debate around bullying at school. Unfortunately, following this, Luka appeared as a fragile and vulnerable child. And for my son, hell started again from there", laments Vanessa Dominguez again.

His parents, after filing four criminal complaints, decided to hire a lawyer that day when, pushed to the limit, Luka allegedly "attempted to commit the&rsquo ;irreparable". When contacted, the college management was unable to respond to our requests. 

Today’s figure: 100

Agriculture: emergency aid triggered

#HERAULT.Emergency aid for agriculture was launched by the prefecture on Monday. Professionals in the department now have until February 23 to request this "emergency fund for viticulture" by completing a file on the website demarches-simplifies.fr.

To benefit from it, wine growers will have to prove a loss of turnover or a loss of harvest for the year 2023, in comparison with the figures for 2020 or 2022, the two reference years retained by the public authorities. It is on this basis that a compensation scale was put in place by the DDTM34, the Departmental Directorate of Territories and the Sea. On January 31, the Minister of Agriculture Marc Fesneau had announced 80 million euros in emergency aid for the profession. At the same time, the executive mentioned a bonus for grubbing up a maximum of 100,000 hectares – compared to 150 million euros; – to help restructure the French vineyard.

40 children forgotten at the station

#MONTPELLIER. This Saturday, February 10, 40 children had an eventful start on vacation. Aged 4 to 14, they were part of the TGV Inoui “Junior & Cie”, which allows them to travel without their parents. "The departure was postponed due to a suicide attempt on the tracks", explains one of the attendants.
The children and their parents were therefore asked to wait in the upstairs hall, awaiting an announcement regarding departure. "But there’ didn't get it! And when we went to ask the station manager, the train had already left!" The children were finally able to board the next TGV and reach the capital a few hours late&hellip ;
