In solidarity with their colleague, who is between life and death, the agents of the Grenoble cleaning service have decided not to clean the markets in the town this afternoon. “We are no longer safe “in the city, our leader comes to help and he gets shot like a dog. It's scandalous,” reacted Virgile, a city agent, to the microphone of France Bleu.
