A compliment, really?
“Julien Bazus, often, on Community Councils, he is Mr. Little Jokes. » Stung by a sarcastic comment from the mayor of Saint-Paul-lès-Dax made during the session of this Wednesday, October 30, 2024, the president of the Greater Dax Agglomeration, Julien Dubois, was quick to respond . Julien Bazus found himself given this nickname after questioning what benevolence and audacity could remain in the politics of Grand Dax, a reference to the slogan presented by the Agglo Dacquoise in 2020.
This is another reference that stood out to Julien Dubois, as he clarified a little later: “It’s an expression that was used for a former President of the Republic. This should allow us to see the future with peace of mind. » It remains to be seen whether being compared to François Hollande, even for a socialist activist like Julien Bazus, is a compliment.
In good shape
Quite discreet when she took office at the Ministry of Health, Landaise Geneviève Darrieussecq has entered a new phase. That of media appearances, such as in the columns of “Parisien” or on the airwaves of France Culture. It’s also time for announcements. In the minister's sights: sugar.
She is in favor of a tax on sodas and candy, in particular. She also wants to fight against these sachets of new nicotine products which are wreaking havoc among young people. Finally, in this month of November – tobacco-free month – she wants to take up “the challenge for our health”. The minister is on all fronts. Proof that even without sugar, you can be in great shape…
The hour of glory
The performance of Boris Vallaud, boss of socialist deputies, did not go unnoticed this week in the hemicycle. The Landes deputy for the third constituency launched into a diatribe against the deputies of the National Rally. “We have a heritage to defend, you have heirs to manage,” he concluded, applauded by all of his left-wing colleagues, standing to support this outing intended to undermine the demonization of the party. extreme right.
The video also set the web ablaze. A bit of a glory hour, as some Internet users have pointed out. One thing is certain: MP Vallaud, who has also just released a book, is increasingly present on the front line. Will he be in the same position, in a little over two years, at the time of the Presidential election? But perhaps Henri Emmanuelli's heir is banking on the fact that there won't be two years to wait?
Traditions will wait
An ardent defender of traditions, the mayor of Mont-de-Marsan Charles Dayot confirmed, during an interview with “Sud Ouest”, that the Maison des traditions project would not see the light of day. This issue was one of his campaign axes during the last municipal elections. Several stakeholders (such as the French Landes Racing Federation) were approached so that this file could see the light of day. The sketches presented by the architects would not have given full satisfaction.
Perhaps we should look elsewhere for the reasons, rather linked to a lack of funding? But everything is not to be thrown away, according to the first magistrate. He postpones this project to the next mandates. Perhaps with the cover of Plumaçon to make it a multicultural room? Unless by then, the anti-bullfighting crusade has achieved its goals with the ban on bullfighting…
Dubois in the Senate
At least by video, to be heard by the Law Committee of the High Assembly, as part of the examination of the bill which will be debated on November 14 in session, concerning the ban on bullfighting for elderly minors under 16 years old. A hearing where the mayor of Dax, also president of the Union of Bullfighting Cities of France, reiterated the red lines not to be crossed. He was accompanied by Patrick de Carolis, his counterpart from Arles, and Robert Ménard, the mayor of Béziers. “I am hopeful, but we must remain very vigilant,” he concedes. As attentive as a maestro must be in the ruedo to avoid the cornada.
Médialandes no longer responds
When the Alpi (Landes IT Agency) takes care of an “update”, it is better not to be in a hurry. One day chasing the other, since September 15, an “interruption of the digital resources service” has been noted on the Médialandes website.
“Maintenance”, beyond hampering the daily work of staff working in the department's various media libraries, also prevents users from consulting films, magazines or newspapers from the daily press, usually offered with free access. In themselves, however, these extended works remain a great way to direct readers from screens to paper. Thank you who? Thank you Alpi!
Manhandled in February, strengthened in November?
He had a chilly spring to say the least. Manhandled on all sides, facing the growing anger of those involved in the Landes race (regarding the status of the bullfighters), President Patrice Larrosa is preparing for a milder winter. Almost warm. In view of the spring slump, we imagined that it would have repercussions for future federal elections. It won't happen.
The federal president will find no opponent in his path during the vote which will take place on Saturday, November 30. Did they have any fears of seeing this Urssaf file resurface (which is far from being satisfactory) and of realizing that it will be very difficult to provide a satisfactory response? Possibly… They might as well stay warm, and continue to see the others take flights of green wood!
