"I will bring together transport operators next week to provide information on the actions undertaken and act in the interests of passengers," Clement Beaune posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.His post came a day after Emmanuel Gregoire, first deputy mayor of Paris, wrote a letter on behalf of City Hall calling on Prime Minister Elizabeth Borne to act on the"scourge".
Such is the scale of the problem in Paris that Mr Gregoire told Franceinfo on Friday the treatment against bed bugs should be included in home insurance deals.He said this could help residents worried about affording pest control measures once they've found an infestation.In August, an X user posted pictures showing what she said were markings on her body from bed bugs in her seat at a Paris cinema., which may be using cookies and other technologies.
