  • Friday, July 11. The entry fees for works councils (CE) at the Aquagliss swimming pool in Freyming-Merlebach will be revised upwards. This is due in part to abuses identified by the community of communes. Some CEs and staff associations were buying excessive quantities of tickets to resell them outside their area at slightly higher prices, making a tidy profit in the process. Photo by Emile Kemmel
  • Saturday, July 12. A group of travelers, with about thirty caravans, is illegally occupying land belonging to the Forbach urban community on the hills above Behren-lès-Forbach. A judge issued an eviction order over a month ago. However, government services have still not arranged for the evacuation of the premises. The farmer who farms the plot is suffering damage.
