Oysters under high surveillance before the holidays

#ETANG DE THAU –As every year, government services are mobilizing to combat oyster thefts during the end-of-year holidays. The period appears, in fact, to be particularly sensitive and dense for shellfish farmers and for their turnover. Thus, night navigation on the Thau lagoon is prohibited and reinforced controls have been planned. These measures in force until January 5 mobilize many agents as well as numerous land resources. In 2023, more than 500 people had been checked and 4 thefts noted. Two flights have been made in recent days and investigations are underway.

The Christmas tree of agricultural anger

#MENDE – Agreement with Mercosur, sensitive meadows and wolves are among the subjects that still anger the farmers of the Rural Coordination in Lozère. About twenty of them made them symbolic gifts at the foot of the Christmas tree, a very real one, that they planted this Sunday afternoon on a roundabout at the entrance to Mende. A way to continue to express their anger and to demand someone to talk to. “We have informed the prefect of all this, but who can the prefect inform him of it? There would first have to be a minister! We hope that the wolf file will be on his desk as soon as it arrives”, confided Jean-Luc Boulet, the co-president of the Rural Coordination 48.

The missing mother found dead

#HÉRAULT – The mother had been wanted since December 2, 2024. The public prosecutor opened a judicial investigation on December 13 in connection with this disappearance, which was deemed worrying. Alas, the public prosecutor of Béziers, Raphaël Balland, confirmed on Sunday that Teresa's lifeless body had been found on Saturday by a hiker in the town of Brenas, located about thirty kilometers from Adissan. According to Mr. Balland, the evidence collected “tends to show” that she committed suicide while many hypotheses had been put forward for three weeks.

Today's figure: 200

#BASSIN DE THAU – SNCF Réseaux, which wants to set up citizen workshops around the future Montpellier-Perpignan railway line, has announced a €200 allowance for future participants in the three sessions. The journey, which includes the construction of a viaduct in Poussan, is not unanimous among the population, who consider that its opinion will be useless. SNCF Réseaux is currently struggling to find 40 people for this work “understanding the project”.

A call to demonstrate from a father from Aude

#NARBONNE –A father is calling for a demonstration this Monday in front of the Narbonne court so that justice can return his son's body to him as soon as possible. Knocked down by a drunk driver while he was walking on the side of the road, the 26-year-old died on December 13 in Narbonne. “We understand the unbearable nature of the situation for this family, but these are imperatives of the law,” Eric Camous, public prosecutor of Narbonne, told L'Indépendant on Sunday. An autopsy of the victim's body is mandatory in the context of an investigation for aggravated involuntary manslaughter in order to verify the causes of death and link this to the results of the investigation. An investigating judge has been appointed. The law does not allow us to return the body to the family until the autopsy report has been communicated to this investigating judge.” “We, his family and friends, want to pay our respects to Thomas”, the father implores, in his appeal broadcast on social networks on Saturday, after learning that the justice system has pushed back this deadline until January.
