the essential
While the election of the new president of the League of Occitanie will be held on November 9, Guy Claria, opponent of the outgoing leader Arnaud Dalla Pria, was in Aveyron yesterday, alongside the former boss of the District Arnaud Delpal .
The election of the president of the League is approaching. And if this election opposes the two Gersois Arnaud Dalla Pria, the outgoing, and Guy Claria, the latter did not fail to come to Aveyron to campaign. A few days after his opponent, it was the latter's turn to crisscross the department yesterday. Present at 2 p.m. in Millau, then at 7 p.m. in the District premises, in Onet, Claria went to meet the clubs and the president of the Aveyron body, Pierre Bourdet, “who is kind enough to open its premises to us”. “We have already communicated a lot, but there is nothing better than face-to-facespecifies the candidate and current vice-president of the Gers District, also regretting that the elective general assembly of November 9 will be organized remotely. We come here to listen to the concerns of the clubs, which are not the same everywhere. There are local specificities.”
Within his team of 20 people is Arnaud Delpal from Aveyron. “I accepted Guy's proposal, because he is someone I like. When I was president of the District (from Aveyron, Editor’s note)it was that of the District of Gers. We fought some epic fights together in some League meetings.”he delivers.
Delpal: “Supporting the actions of Pierre Bourdet”
If he had lost to him during the twisted election of 2020 in the District, Arnaud Delpal also assures that he wants to work in the interest of Pierre Bourdet, in the event of the election of his head of the list as president of the Occitanie League in a week: “If I get involved, it is also to support the actions of Pierre Bourdet, to allow him to have a local relay to carry and defend what he wants to do at the District level. To be the cog in the cog to accelerate his files!”
Fiercely opposed to the outgoing president of the LFO Arnaud Dalla Pria, accusing him in particular of a large number of resignations within his team during his mandate, including the Aveyron treasurer Véronique Gayraud, Guy Claria would have stood as a candidate to respond to the call of several leaders and clubs in the region: “ I was contacted three years ago by three District Presidents, who were rather unhappy with President Dalla Pria's managerial method. “ Note that for the upcoming election, the latter includes the Aveyronnais Christian Salères in his list.
Among his main missions in the event of election, Guy Claria intends in particular “improve the daily life of clubs”by tackling “very restrictive statutes and regulations which are proposed and written in the Parisian offices. However, here we are in Aveyron, I am in Gers, we are in very rural territories. We want to unravel the regulations and represent our territories.”
