The studies “initiated in 2023, continued in 2024” recalled the first magistrate.

A list for 2026
A project that the mayor might want to carry out during a new term? At the head of the municipality for a quarter of a century, he gave an idea of his possible future candidacy: “We have no shortage of ideas, I am even convinced that the 26 years spent in the service of our municipality allow us to carry them out in a technical-financial context that has become increasingly complex. This conviction will lead me to offer you in a few months a team which will rely on a base of solid members, supplemented by new talents from all sectors of our municipality.
