The city councilor gave a press conference on Tuesday in the presence of the former mayor of Saint-Brevin-les-Pins, Yannick Morez. A first and last joint press conference, they explained. The center for asylum seekers which is to be transferred by the end of the year next to the Pierre Attelée school.
“Racism is not an opinion”
In its last letter published on social networks, the collective for the preservation of the Pierre Attelée school, the anti-Cada collective, asks to be received by the new mayor. But the collective questioned: “What normally constituted woman can set up a center for migrants next to a school?” For Dorothée Pacaud, “it’s an insult and an insult”. She therefore filed a complaint for insult and insult, as she has already done when she received two anonymous letters while she was acting mayor.
No question for her to receive them either: “Racism is not an opinion”. There were meetings, neighborhood hotlines. “Now that’s enough. That’s enough collective pressure on elected officials, on parents of students or on the school principal”insists Dorothée Pacaud. “The Cada will be transferred. We can explain, discuss but certainly not cancel”.
The support of the prefect
The newly elected has already received a phone call from the prefect, a letter also. “Both to congratulate me, but also to assure me of his support, he wants to meet me”. The general secretary of the prefecture also contacted her, to “discuss together the work agenda with regard to the Cada”. “We will go to the end”assures Dorothée Pacaud who repeats that this project belongs to the State.

On the other hand, Dorothée Pacaud deplores the silence of the sub-prefect, Michel Bergue, and especially that of the macronist deputy Yannick Haury. “Not a word, not a phone call, he left us from the beginning and even now carry alone a project that is not ours. It’s distressing”.
The new mayor is already under protection: “The gendarmes are also very present in surveillance and security mode of my home. If necessary, they will be there to ensure my protection, but I want to live normally”assures the new mayor of Saint-Brévin, 45 years old and mother of three teenagers.
