the essential
After the departure of Laurent Carrié to a position of advisor in charge of territories at the Elysée, his successor was named this Wednesday during a council of ministers in Paris. And he already knows the department.
We know the name of Laurent Carrié's successor at the head of the Gers prefecture. This is Alain Castanier, from Essonne where he served as prefect responsible for equal opportunities.
Working on the political issues of the city and the districts in difficulty in Ile-de-France, he is gaining ground in a less populated department (1.3 million inhabitants compared to 190,000) and more rural… in full remobilization of farmers .

Alain Castanier is not entering unfamiliar territory: from 1995 to 2003 in Auch, he held the position of “head of the Gers subdivision at the regional directorate of industry, research and the environment” as his online CV indicates.

His arrival is in any case good news for the agricultural unions: the JA and the FDSEA told us on Tuesday that they were impatient to find a privileged contact at the departmental level after the unexpected departure of Laurent Carrié who said goodbye to Gers on November 22 .

Aged 60, native of Millau in Aveyron, Alain Castanier has a long career as a senior civil servant. He worked for a long time in various regional environmental directorates (Drire), the last of which was mentioned in Auch, before becoming sub-prefect and chief of staff of the prefect of Yonne in 2003.
His career in the prefecture then took him to our region, to Bagnères-de-Bigorre in the Hautes-Pyrénées (from 2005 to 2007), then to Haute-Saône, Haute-Vienne, Finistère and Pas-de -Calais (general secretary of the prefecture and sub-prefect of the district of Arras) before his last post in Essonne.
He could take office as early as next week.
