The Vaucluse mayors' lounge will open in a particular climate. Elected officials learned several weeks before that their budget was going to be cut in order to pay off the debt. Local authorities will therefore tighten their belts a little more and have to cut back on certain expenses or projects.
“It’s going to be complicated to find someone who wants to be mayor”
“We help each other between mayors, we will pool our resources […] to save money“, says Sandrine Raymond, mayor of Saint-Pierre-de-Vassols, who indicates in particular that this show will also be an opportunity to find support and discuss daily life during this difficult period. “I am very worried about the next elections (municipal, editor's note) because I think there are a lot of town halls where it will be complicated to find someone who wants to be mayor. It becomes very complicated for an elected official to be able to work in a company in addition to his role as mayor.“, adds Julien Merle, mayor of Sérignan-du-Comtat.
These concerns will be at the heart of discussions this Thursday. 70 exhibitors will be installed at the exhibition center. The show opens to the public from 8:15 a.m. and an inauguration is organized at 12:30 p.m.
in the presence of Thierry Suquet, the Prefect of Vaucluse, Renaud Muselier, President of the South Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur Region, Dominique Santoni, President of the Vaucluse Departmental Council, Véronique Pouzadoux, Deputy Secretary General of the AMF, Cécile Helle, mayor of Avignon, Pierre Gonzalvez, President of AMV84, and Christian Gros, mayor of Monteux, secretary general of AMV84.
