No less than 40 people applied, including Julie Taton. “We met people from all walks of life, with rich life journeys and who live in the 19 municipalities of Greater Mons.”explain Opaline Meunier and Guillaume Soupart, Mons en Mieux municipal councilors. “It’s very enriching to see everything that connects here to Mons, the same desire to move forward, to help the City progress. All the candidates pointed out the lack of activation of RIS beneficiaries despite the work of social workers. It’s the management of the CPAS that poses a problem.”
Julie Taton will be domiciled in Mons: the police found her at her home this Wednesday morning
The opposition group decided to select two women and two men. It will therefore be Julie Taton (Mons, 40 years old), MR federal deputy, Marie-Claude Delabie (Flénu, 69 years old), ex-social worker and trainer in the field, Olivier Gago Y Mantero (Havré, 41 years old). ), financial director of the municipality and the CPAS of Chièvres and Corentin Nalletamby (35 years old, Mons), director of Centropôle, the federation of municipalities of the Central region.
“In a city where one in two people of working age does not work, our choice fell on social action experts. The CPAS of Mons has an annual budget of 100 million euros, we must be vigilant.” believes Georges-Louis Bouchez, leader of Mons en Mieux. “Julie Taton will also be able to serve as a relay directly within the Federal Parliament in order to work on issues on the ground and develop our legislation.”
And to conclude: “Getting people back to work is the only solution to get our region out of its slump. More people working means less social spending, more people paying taxes and therefore better viability of our social policy Given the financial difficulties facing our City, this policy must be the priority!” Like the municipal councils, the social action councils will be installed on December 2. Now officially domiciled in Mons, Julie Taton will not have lost everything by trying to enter local politics.
