A project also “ ecologically hazardous as the future of the winter sports industry is called into question by climate change » et « unrealistic “. A final point which concerns more directly the Fort des Têtes, which will host the Olympic village.
« It would take Briançonnais taxpayers on a financial adventure which would inexorably lead to an increase in taxes. » and investments to be planned such as the creation of roads, a teleporter or operating costs « that the financial capacities of the municipality will not be able to support. The municipality takes the risk of having to manage an Olympic wasteland for decades ».
The Briançon opposition therefore calls for the suspension of these projects “until the results of a citizen consultation which we request to be organized as soon as possible”.
