During the night of Monday 5 to Tuesday, May 6, the vehicle of the mayor of Aurec-sur-Loire was targeted by a criminal fire, which quickly spread to his wife’s car. The councilor denounces an attack on its quality as elected, and announces complaint.
Around 1 in the morning, on the night of May 5 to 6, the vehicles of Claude Vidal, mayor of Aurec-sur-Loire, in Haute-Loire, were targeted by a criminal fire. The cars were parked in the interior courtyard of the elected ownership, which has not undergone any damage.
According to information from BFMTV, the camera of one of the two vehicles captured the images of a man who came to set fire. The gendarmerie was seized of the investigation.
Claude Vidal denounces, in a press release published this Tuesday, May 6, an attack of his elected representative and the politics he leads.
-“The first elements collected by the investigators demonstrate that this fire has a criminal origin. It is the figure of the mayor of the city which was targeted,” it is written in the press release, which castigates “a real attack on the Republic”.
The mayors, “the targets of a real fight”
“This type of action demonstrates the weakness and cowardice of those whom we condemn daily through our courageous security policy, which disturbs. But where will this violence stop? This attack could have destroyed the lives of six people. I am not sure that the author of the facts is aware of it. In summer, the vegetation would have ignited immediately and the human and material damage would have been much more substantial. RIGHT.
For Claude Vidal, this “odious act” demonstrates that “the mayors of France become the figures of the republic and the targets of a real fight”. “This test gives me one more reason to remain mayor,” said the councilor, who announces his intention to file a complaint.
