Since mid-September, student-led protests have resulted in an increase in property damage across the city. Ludovic Franceschet, a garbage collector, has voiced his frustration over the lack of enforcement of legal penalties. He described scenes of broken windows, overturned trash cans, and some set on fire, which have added to the burden on his job. The situation has sparked debates about responsibility and justice, especially as the damage continues to mount. According to a legal report, the penal code includes four specific sentences that address the destruction or damage of another person’s property through fire, particularly when such actions pose a danger to people. These provisions carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a fine of 150,000 euros. However, it remains unclear how frequently these laws are applied in practice. Some critics argue that the legal system is not effectively holding individuals accountable for such acts, leading to growing public concern. Franceschet has expressed his own weariness, stating that he is tired of paying fines for damages he did not cause. He is considering leaving his job for a position that is less demanding or stressful. Despite his frustrations, he supports the students' cause, which focuses on issues within the educational system. However, he emphasizes the need for respect toward law enforcement, healthcare workers, and waste management personnel, who are often on the front lines during such protests. He called on vandals, whether adults or minors, to take responsibility for their actions. Franceschet noted that if minors are caught engaging in such behavior, their parents are typically held financially responsible. He stressed the importance of accountability, stating that those who cause damage should be required to pay for it, regardless of their age. His comments reflect a growing sentiment among workers affected by the protests, who seek both justice and a return to normalcy in their communities.
