The users and employees all left. »

While Daniel Guiraud, its first vice-president, was discussing the budgetary orientations for the year 2025, an alarm sounded in the premises. “I suggest you evacuate, since the delegated prefect who is in charge of the interim has just told me that there was a bomb threat and that she has not had the doubt resolved by the police services” , then intervened the president (PS) Stéphane Troussel.

The session was suspended, it has not resumed since. Verifications are still in progress at the time of publishing these lines.
