The mayor simulates tearing up the rails
#HEARING – He took control of the excavator himself! As announced several weeks ago, the various right-wing mayor of Quillan, Pierre Castel, carried out a punch operation this Saturday aimed at recalling his opposition to the reopening of the Quillan-Limoux railway line. The chief magistrate no longer believes that trains will run on this link which has been closed for several years. He prefers to see a greenway built instead. A project that is not unanimous since there are still many associations, elected officials and citizens who want trains to run on this axis again. Still, despite opposition to his action, Pierre Castel brought together more than a hundred people at Quillan station to “demonstrate that there are many supporters for a greenway when it takes 100 million euros to rebuild the railway line”. So he simulated tearing up the rails with an excavator and then painted them green and with rust inhibitor.
