“The patients in galley, the angry caregivers”; “CHU for treatment, not for profitability” The demonstrators, who marched Saturday from 2:30 pm, do not want the CHU on the island of Nantes, scheduled for 2026. Some 250 people have joined the call launched by the collective Stop transfer, which brings together forces policies (La France Insoumise, Nantes en commun, the opposition group of the right and the center), the Groupement d ‘analyze et d’études de Loire Atlantique, Attac44, the GIGNV and the CGT union of the CHU.
They denounce the difficulties of access to this future hospital “With traffic in Nantes saturated when, for certain emergencies, every minute counts”; the number of insufficient beds, “Especially with the very strong demographic growth of the Nantes area”. They also demand “Human and logistical resources”. “A modern hospital, yes, but not with 800 fewer workstations and 400 closed beds”, summarizes Olivier Sabin, from the CGT of the CHU.
“This project is quite simply nonsense”, denounce Hélène, Annalisa and Mathilde, 18-year-old students. Others ask ” a moratorium “, Press on “The absurdity of the announced closure of Laënnec hospital in Saint-Herblain” to demonstrate “Heresy” of the CHU on the island of Nantes. Framed by an imposing device of the police, the demonstration ended in peace at the Miroir d’eau around 5 p.m.
