The month of November 2026 features the Fortnight of Equality and Diversity, an event aimed at raising awareness and combating discrimination. The resource center at the Hôtel de Ragueneau has been renewed, offering a space for exchange and sharing.
However, beyond these occasional initiatives, the municipality's true commitment will be judged by its concrete actions. A revealing act occurred during the Bordeaux Métropole Council meeting in late September.
The 26 elected officials from Bordeaux's municipal majority voted for a new increase in public transport fares, a measure the PCF consistently opposes. This includes a 16.7% increase for Mobibus, the transport service for people with reduced mobility. This means an additional 50 cents per trip for a population largely receiving disability benefits.
Despite multiple warnings, the right-wing and macronist elected officials confirmed this decision, which strongly appears to be an act of 'class contempt'. As Olivier Escots stated at the Métropole and then at the municipal council, it is still possible to withdraw this injustice before the new tariffs are applied in January 2027.
