Whether they let loose on social networks, get caught up in a speech or slip in a discreet confidence, the actors of Angevin life have no shortage of answers. Every Saturday, King René, in Angers (Maine-et-Loire) enjoys the news of the week.
Answering machine
“I’m not going to call a friend…” Christophe Béchu would however have liked to have Jean-Pierre Foucault under his belt Monday evening, during the council. As in the show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”, he would surely have activated his joker to call Jean-Marc Verchère, his predecessor, and ask him what commitment he could have made regarding the exemption from Sunday rest in businesses.
Christophe Béchu wants to stay with four opening Sundays in 2025… Except that Jean-Marc Verchère had committed to going to three.
The episode missed by Christophe Béchu made him lose not millions, but a few points of credibility.
Late
And it is not this new missed meeting that will help to turn things around. The Banque de France inaugurated its new Angevin branch this Friday. The meeting was set for 12 p.m. In the reception hall, the guests are getting impatient. What are we waiting for to get started?
“Mr. Mayor is late,” slips one of the employees. At 12:20 p.m., still no sign of life. “Okay, we’re not going to wait for him. »
After the speech and the inaugural visit, Christophe Béchu appeared, at the same time as the petits fours, only 45 minutes late.
Modernity
At present, he, Philippe Chopin, the prefect of Maine-et-Loire, marvels at the modernity of the new offices of the Bank of France. “Ah, the screens are great, he exclaims. We will have that in 150 years…” Unfortunately for him, by this date, the latter will surely already have been replaced.
Alliances
Yes, allying with your enemies can sometimes serve your own interests. This is how Silvia Camara-Tombini, PS councilor, told the mayor of Angers how much it would be ” Shame “ not to fulfill the wish of his faithful Maxence Henry. The latter also defends a reduction in Sunday work in businesses. It is true, he replied, that “It’s one of the rare subjects on which we are in sync.”
This must be the magic of Christmas.
Gift !
Yes, well, don't push Grandma too much into the nettles. Even the magic of Christmas has its limits.
Silvia Camara-Tombini, always her and always about Sunday work, took a flight of green wood signed Olivier Fargetton, the president of the Maine-et-Loire Commerce Association (GEC 49). This loyal critic of local policies sent out a very salty email to the municipal opponent: “If you wanted to be consistent, you would, like me, demand the closure of the Christmas markets […]but like you never did and you won't […]my missive is doomed to disappear. »
It was counting without King René who kept the mail under control. It’s a gift, it’s offered. It was nothing !
