What’s good about Jacques Krabal is that with him, it’s a bit like La Samaritaine. There’s always something happening.
After having been severely blown during the wishes of Sébastien Eugène, the one who took all these honors from him as mayor of Château-Thierry, president of the hospital supervisory board, and now president of the agglomeration, the former deputy Jacques Krabal goes on the offensive.
After his young replacement is cornered, Jacques Krabal pulls from all sides. He sent a letter on January 16 to the president of the regional chamber of accounts. Specifically about the Soissons hospital, the town hall of Château-Thierry and the urban community of the Château-Thierry region.
Jacques Krabal’s explanations
Jacques Krabal explains the reasons for this request in the form of fireworks. “For several months, you have been controlling the accounts of the Château-Thierry hospital, we welcome this. This control is the subject of public comments from the mayor of Château-Thierry who suggests that the results of these checks would be in line with the criticisms that he himself has made with regard to the management of this establishment. »
“These statements could be seen as a desire to exploit your control and discredit the objective work of your teams,” continues Jacques Krabal. Respectful of the work of your magistrates, having been heard myself, I would like to know where we are in the progress of this control.
The Soissons hospital, the town hall of Château-Thierry and the urban area
Excited like a hunter who has just released a box of revered pheasants, Jacques Krabal shoots on sight against the Soissons hospital. But also the town hall of Château-Thierry and the town, where his friend was replaced sine die democratically by Sébastien Eugène.
“If I request the extension of your controls to the Soissons hospital, it is because it appears relevant and coherent that the two establishments, members of the same hospital group, what is more with the Soisson interim management since soon two years, be subject to similar account verifications.”
“To justify the increase in costs, he highlights the announced deficit”
As former mayor of Château-Thierry, he also requested the establishment of control of this community. “From my point of view, certain investment and human resources files require an in-depth look,” he believes. The last audit covered the financial years 2013 to 2017 during which I was then mayor. My past management has been the subject of multiple criticisms from the current mayor. It is the same for the Agglomeration today, also chaired by the mayor of Château-Thierry, who constantly shouts loud and clear in the media, and constantly, about the poor management of this public establishment .”
“To justify the creation of taxes (Gemapi), the significant increase in the prices of personal services (meal delivery, care), culture (memberships to the conservatory, music schools), or even the tax on “sanitation, it highlights the announced deficit.”
Insincerity, sincerity
A deficit and above all a presentation of the 2024 budget by the former president which left the vast majority of community councilors speechless. Some even said in hushed tones that this budget “had the color and figures of insincerity”. But was perfectly sincere, according to the former president of the Agglo who is now deposed.
After a polite expression like Don Sallust in La Folie des Grandeurs, Jacques Krabal wishes a happy new year 2025 to the president of the regional chamber of accounts. A question remains: did he send him a galette des rois or a cream tart? The answer will be sure to come soon.
