Pierre-Yves Marolleau does not hide the fact that he has had a lot on his mind since he learned of Philippe Robin’s candidacy under the RN-Ciotti label in the legislative elections in the 3e constituency of Deux-Sèvres.
At the start of the Agglo2B community council this Tuesday, July 2, its president explained what led him to sign a decree suspending the delegations of the 11the Vice-President of the Agglomeration of Bocage Bressuirais.
Since mid-June, I have had no contact from him. I consider this to be a mark of total disloyalty.

Before calling on elected officials to confirm this decision by a vote, Pierre-Yves Marolleau wants to dot the i’s and cross the t’s. “This is a deliberation that I could have done without. As soon as I was elected president, I specified two rules: limit the accumulation of mandates and work with a diverse team but without official representatives of the extremes, left or right. And this was not wishful thinking.”
The President describes Philippe Robin’s candidacy as “unpleasant surprise” and adds disappointment to it. “Since mid-June, I have had no contact from him. I consider this to be a mark of total disloyalty. I am not submitting this deliberation to you lightly, but I want to be able to continue to look at myself in the mirror.”
A vice-president is elected by the 75 members of Agglo2B on the proposal of the president. He is not elected by the people. His delegations are given to him by the president who can withdraw them.

Pierre-Yves Marolleau does not contradict the validity of the electors’ vote. “This vote is the result of fears in a society that is fracturing. The right and the left have become more radical. Whose fault is it? I have no certainty. I observe. If a similar candidacy for France Insoumise had presented itself, I would have acted in exactly the same way.”
The president of Agglo2B wants to debunk a few untruths. “A vice-president is elected by the 75 members of Agglo2B on the proposal of the president. He is not elected by the people. His delegations are given to him by the president who can withdraw them. I consider that disloyalty and lack of frankness justify this.”
No justification, just explanations
Pierre-Yves Marolleau saw certain reactions provoked by his decision. “We would not be true democrats? But how can we describe someone who hides such political commitment? It is up to him to justify himself, but we have neither seen nor heard him. As for those who preach, I point out to them that a vice-president, even after being deprived of his delegations, remains a community advisor.”
Emmanuelle Ménard seizes the opportunity to decipher the municipal situation in Bressuire. “I completely agree with this decision”specifies the mayor of Bressuire.

“Philippe Robin was elected on the Bressuire and you list. I was not informed of his candidacy. I only spoke to him on the phone on Sunday evening. I told him that the list would meet on Monday and that we were all shocked. We asked him to resign to be consistent and we have not had a response. He remains a municipal councillor for Bressuire but is no longer part of our political team.”
“I would have made the same decision”
The vote has not yet taken place, but Serge Bouju also wishes to give his full support to this decision. “If I had been faced with the same situation, I would have made the same decision”says the mayor of Nueil-les-Aubiers. Florence Bazzoli, an elected member of the Bressuire opposition, also supports this decision.

“I do not question the work of this vice-president”Pierre-Yves Marolleau finally specifies before announcing the rules of the vote. The threshold of 30% of elected officials requesting a secret ballot not being reached, it is by show of hands that the withdrawal of Philippe Robin’s delegations is therefore voted unanimously minus two abstentions.
On the other hand, the election of the 11the Vice-president of Agglo2B is held by secret ballot. Only Bruno Bodin, also a municipal councillor of Bressuire from the majority list Bressuire et vous, is a candidate. He is elected by 59 votes for and 9 blanks.
The regional tennis center will supply electricity to Agglo2B
> Regional tennis center. An agreement will be signed with Gérédis to establish a collective self-consumption program around the production of photovoltaic panels from the Regional Tennis Center and Bocapole (408 MWh/year). This self-consumption is open to Agglo2B facilities located less than 2 km from the source. In this case, the panels from the two sites will supply each of them (137 MWh/year, 34%) and the Bressuire wastewater treatment plant (205 MWh/year, 50%). The surplus (66 MWh/year, 16%) will be resold.
> Bicycle and mobility plan. Launched in April 2019, the national program “Savoir rouler à vélo” is intended to train children in cycling before they start secondary school. For the moment, children from Bocage can obtain their “Savoir rouler à vélo” certificate during extracurricular and extracurricular times. The goal is now to train around 1,500 CM2 pupils (74 classes including 15 CM2 and 59 multilevel) during 6 to 24 hours of training. The overall cost should reach €104,000, 50% of which will be financed by Europe.
> Economic affairs. The elected representatives of Agglo2B have validated two agreements with Gérédis to supply electricity to the extension of the @lpharc zone (Bressuire) and the future Forestrie zone (Moncoutant-sur-Sèvre).
> Social housing in Cerizay. The elected officials validated the sale of 7,756 m2 at the Gondromière in Cerizay for the benefit of the municipality. The aim is to allow the construction of rental housing by a social landlord.
