Four years ago, Sylvaine Astic followed a career without agreement in state administration. As she left her assignment in Allier, in Vichy, to join the sub-prefecture of Roanne, in the Loire, she had no idea that this would mark the beginning of her nightmare.
Very quickly, relations deteriorated sharply with the prefect of the Loire, Catherine Seguin, the daughter of Philippe Seguin, former Minister of the Interior. “We had a disagreement for a good part of 2021,” explains Sylvaine Astic in the columns of “Parisien”. And the gears are accelerating. A poor evaluation from his hierarchy, then, at the beginning of 2022, an interview with the deputy director of the prefectural body and senior officials. In June of the same year, the sentence fell, Sylvaine Astic was dismissed from her duties as sub-prefect, barely more than a year after her arrival in Roanne.
“Sidelined”

I'm being sidelined for no real reason. »And the situation has continued ever since. Officially, she is now “mission manager to the Secretary General of the Ministry of the Interior and Overseas Territories”. But in reality, Sylvaine Astic has no office or mission. For three years, she has been on sick leave. “Positions are offered to him, but unrelated to his wishes”, specifies “Le Parisien”.
