Marseille: appeal trial over the rue d'Aubagne collapses
On November 1, 2026, the appeal trial over the rue d'Aubagne collapses opens in Marseille, eight years after the collapse of three buildings that killed eight people, with fifteen defendants and against a backdrop of persistent substandard housing. The following day, Léo Lavieille, whose father died in the collapse, co-organizes a festival in Marseille against substandard housing while the trial is underway. On November 3, on the sidelines of the trial, the City of Marseille revisits the coverage of legal fees for former deputy Julien Ruas. On November 4, documentarian Margaïd Quioc is making a film intended to preserve the record of women's presence in the struggle that followed the collapses.
