Overview
- RN candidate Franck Allisio proposes a “families-minots-seniors” pass that would reserve beach time slots and restrict access for young people he links to nuisances.
- Explaining his plan on Europe 1 after comments on BFMTV, Allisio said families and seniors avoid public beaches because of harassment, loud music, fights, drugs and unauthorized barbecues.
- Supporters of right/centre candidate Martine Vassal back setting up paid privatized areas with access and a sun lounger for €10 per day as a way to ensure calmer use.
- Opponents, including a group of 50 young Marseillais and LFI candidate Sébastien Delogu, denounce both ideas as exclusionary and promoting social segregation or “entre-soi.”
- Local outlet Marsactu has questioned the legality of the proposed pass, no measures have been implemented, and the controversy has become a prominent campaign issue six weeks before the first-round vote.
