Saving themselves for the one in Nîmes organized the following weekend, the elected officials interviewed responded that they would not participate in the Alès feria.
That’s it, the sun is back and, with it, the Alès feria. This year, it lasts five days, from Wednesday to Sunday. An unmissable event for partygoers. A good workout also before the Nîmes feria, the following weekend. If there is no doubt about the presence of Alesian elected officials, a few neighbors will make the trip, such as Patrick Malavieille, PCF departmental councilor for the canton of La Grand’Combe.
“ The Alès feria marks the start of the open-air festivities. I really like its festive and family spirit. “, says the communist. Among its unmissable events: the pégoulade on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. as well as the boulevard Louis-Blanc and the Prolé, “ much superior in quality to that of Nîmes “. Ah good ? His Nîmes comrade Vincent Bouget will appreciate… Since it is he who, in Nîmes, is behind the Prolé bar.
On the Nîmes side, there are no crowds. Of the personalities interviewed, only Laurent Burgoa, aficionado from the first hour, plans to go there: “ I will attend two bullfights. I would like to salute the courage of elected officials and organizers for maintaining this tradition in the Cévennes capital by highlighting French toros and bullfighters. » The Republican will also slump at “ the Lou Regain casera dear to Mayor Max Roustan “.
As for other elected officials, RN deputy Yoann Gllet bluntly says “ to not have time » : « My colleague Pierre Meurin – deputy of the 4th – will go I imagine. I have a lot of events in my constituency and also votive festivals in Rodilhan and Jonquières. As much as I never miss the one in Nîmes and Arles, I never go to the one in Alès “. On the side of the boss of the PS du Gard, Pierre Jaumain, his Alesian comrade Arnaud Bord has obviously not done enough proselytizing: “ I’m booking for the Nîmes feria “.
Same for Richard Tibérino, president of the LR du Gard, who will not toast with the president of Alès Agglo, Christophe Rivenq, whom he has just replaced at the head of the LR. Finally, Valérie Rouverand, boss of Renaissance in the department, will dry up once again: “ The proximity of the two ferias naturally pushes me to favor the one in Nîmes which I like to do from the first to the last day “. Please note that alcohol should be consumed in moderation, whether you are in Alès or Nîmes.
