Disagreements between elected officials

Disagreements between elected officials would have led to this choice according to our colleagues from Ouest-France.

In a press release addressed to the press, Mayor Richard Haas declared “having taken note of these decisions, which are currently subject to the validation of the Prefect. »

The councilor puts things into perspective by emphasizing that “resignations within a municipal council are not rare these days and there are few municipalities which, during a mandate, do not encounter departures of municipal councilors or deputies. »

According to him, “since the start of this mandate in 2020, within the 32 municipalities of the Saint-Brieuc agglomeration, 64 local elected officials resigned (14 deputies and 40 municipal councilors). »

“Leave the ship”

Furthermore, Richard Haas evokes the “difficulties encountered by many elected officials currently in the exercise of their mandate. For several years, in the context of a exacerbation of distrust with regard to elected officials, the signs of a devaluation of the activity of elected official and of a less attractiveness of mandates are multiplying in the news. »

These resignations can be for various and varied reasons (professional, personal, medical or even for differences of position). “Leaving the ship” remains a personal choice that the mayor cannot oppose.

A reorganization of the municipal executive is announced for the coming weeks.
