This Tuesday, June 11, Philippe Cremer, active member of the Besançon Municipal Council and the Community Council of Grand Besançon Métropole, died. This Génération.s activist, fervent defender of social and humanitarian causes, joined the “Besançon par nature” team in 2020.
Philippe Cremer was particularly known for his functions as Advisor responsible for welcoming the homeless and supporting migrants. He carried out these missions with rare passion and conviction, convinced of the need for solidarity policies in these areas. He tirelessly worked to improve the condition of the most deprived.
Under his leadership, Besançon signed a Territorial Reception and Integration Contract (CTAI) with the State. This contract has significantly improved the lives of refugees and foreigners, by facilitating their access to decent housing, learning the French language, as well as their rights and medical care. Philippe Cremer was also a fervent defender of unaccompanied minors and particularly appreciated the welcoming ceremonies into French citizenship, which he experienced with great emotion.
His commitment was not limited to his official duties. Member of the Board of Directors of the Communal Social Action Center of Besançon, he embodied his unshakeable conviction of the duty of humanity. He worked to provide help and support to the homeless, the most vulnerable and the most deprived, thus illustrating his deep attachment to the values of fraternity.
Within the municipal council, his voice resonated with force and conviction, sometimes sparking passionate debates! His disappearance leaves an immense void, both on a human and political level. His colleagues and friends from the municipal majority will remember him as a committed companion and comrade, always ready to defend his ideas with passion.
The editorial staff sends its sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of Philippe Cremer and salutes the memory of a man whose commitment will have marked those who were lucky enough to cross his path. His legacy will continue to inspire those who, like him, believe in a more just and fraternal world.
Philippe, thank you
