President Jean-Pierre Giran (LR) introduced the session by evoking the necessary solidarity of the territories towards Mayotte and voted for an initial aid of 10,000 euros.
The floor was then given to Ange Musso (SE) to explain the choice to the Metropolis, in a very complicated and uncertain situation, “ to present a budget which takes into account the efforts which should have been requested from local authorities ». « It’s about showing caution and pragmatism », he adds. And this without cutting corners on investments. “ We remain on nearly 237 million euros and we keep all our major projects », insists the vice-president.
With all the same, according to the “economies of the State”, warns Jean-Pierre Giran, a reduction in subsidies of 5% which will be suggested.
Chantal Portuese, former assistant to Jean-Pierre Giran at the town hall of Hyères, made a whole speech on “ debt which is now approaching 440 million euros ”, inviting “ remain particularly vigilant in the face of the risks this creates, particularly in our country “. And, always the same verse of “ the burden on future generations “. While asking for an increase in credits to accelerate the ecological transition. Look for the error.
« We are the fourth least indebted metropolis in France », Retorts the president.
The RN is slipping again
RN Amaury Navarranne notes, for his part, that he does not see “ the trace of fiscal appeasement », which he was waiting for. And will therefore vote against.
On the transport aspect, Cécile Muschotti (Ren.) brought up the punchy subject of the tramway which usually arouses passions.
To prevent criticism of this umpteenth assault, the metropolitan councilor begins with an adage which says that “ repetition is the mother of learning (…) the architect of achievement ».
And to launch the charge: “ The low number of trips per inhabitant reveals a worrying underutilization of our network, and this observation is largely explained by the absence of a structuring capacity transport system which could however sustainably transform our trips by improving their frequency, their regularity and their attractiveness. » A delay which for the chosen one « considerably limits our ability to respond both to ecological transition objectives and also to the attractiveness of our territory “. And pleading for this “ real choice of society », pour « social and environmental justice » did nothing about it.
« The BRT route is completely stopped, the first stage has begun », replies Jean-Pierre Giran, who responds to the proverb with a quote from the communist Maurice Thorez saying that “ you have to know how to stop a strike “. That’s funny.
What will be much less so is the intervention of Amaury Navarranne, who cannot help but comment on a convention on the protection of endemic species. “ You know our attachment to border regulation, we are obviously in favor of this action plan against invasive exotic species, including plants.. »
A new “controlled” but expected slippage from the far right which provoked the indignant and legitimate fury of Cécile Muschotti.
