Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

On 10 August at 21:30 the way to the trucks opened and the next morning, this Thursday, they were closed again at 07:00. In addition to this cut, the A-63 is also closed for all vehicles starting at exit 9 in Saint Geours de Maremne. The French Minister for the Interior, Gerald Darmanin, has stated that the fire has been unleashed in different places and therefore believe that it has been intentioned.
