“Your personal and repeated attacks on our colleague Claude Tummino have no place in this forum and demonstrate the way in which you view political commitment for yourself and in the city through suspicion and denigration. Faced with your inappropriate insinuations, we strongly reaffirm our support and solidarity with our colleague Claude Tummino.“
This is the response from the first deputy Claude Nahoum to the opponent RN Anne-Sophie Rigault, who took up various questions to bring back to the table the accusations of “corruption and favoritism” which affect the deputy for commerce in charge of markets , Claude Tummino.
At the origin of these rumors, a collective which targets the elected official by denouncing “privileges, bribery, bribes, irregularities” (our edition of November 27) and denounces its lack of transparency.
“Administratively, everything is clear, the regulations are respected“, replied Claude Tummino, without convincing Anne-Sophie Rigault who stated: “For months, the city of the Popes has lived according to the series of anomalies on the markets which could be reclassified as criminal offenses if the facts denounced were proven.”
She asked the mayor to “relieve Claude Tummino of his delegations under the precautionary principle“. Obviously without winning the case: the majority stood up and applauded the deputy as a sign of solidarity. The session was adjourned. Cécile Helle has arranged to meet on February 22 for the next municipal council .
