New ministerial visit to the Meuse this Friday, November 29. A month after the trip of Olga Givernet, Minister of Energy who came to chair a High-level Committee linked to the Cigéo project, it is Catherine Vautrin, Minister of Partnership with the Territories and Decentralization who is announced on the department with several visits on its program: old Miribel barracks rehabilitated in Verdun, multiple interviews with local elected officials (Samuel Hazard, Martine Joly, Jérôme Dumont), Republican lunch at the prefecture in Bar-le-Duc, meeting with the union delegation on the closure of the Crédit Agricole headquarters in Bar-le-Duc, visit to the Public Health Center in Pierrefitte-sur-Aire and the multi-service grocery store in a rural area in Nicey-sur-Aire.
Minister of Labor, Health and Solidarity under the government of Gabriel Attal, Catherine Vautrin changed portfolio with the formation of the government of Michel Barnier. Former president of Grand Reims, she will naturally address all the pressing issues of rurality during this trip. A department hit hard by the national situation, where social crises have been accumulating for several months.
