"They went through the fitness trail and forced the gates to the stadium training ground…"< /em>This Monday, July 22 in the morning, around 80 families of traveling evangelists took possession of the site located in Redessan, in the Gard. Warned, the mayor of the town, Fabienne Richard, quickly went to the site, escorted by the gendarmerie forces.
Negotiations set up
"We preferred to discuss with them and establish an agreement regarding this de facto occupation", explains, a bit resigned, the chosen one. "I don't think conflict is a good solution. They told us that the nearest reception area, that of Marguerittes, was not made for them because it was a busy area… hellip; What do you want me to answer ?", adds Fabienne Richard, who has chosen the path of appeasement.
"Compensation will be made for water, electricity and household waste", supports the mayor of Redessan, who wants to reassure the supporters of Olympic Nîmes, who must face Istres, this Wednesday, July 24 at 7 p.m. in Redessan. "We negotiated with them so that they do not touch the main field and the adjoining parking lot, the match is well maintained."< /em>
Travelers must, for their part, only stay this week before hitting the road again next Monday.
