Detox. No “Merry Christmas” has not been replaced by “Fantastic December” in Besançon

Eric Ciotti is very fond of Christmas and traditions. In a tweet published on Sunday November 28, the candidate for the Republican primary attacked the municipality of Besançon: ” In Besançon, thanks to the green mayor, we no longer say “Merry Christmas” but rather “fantastic December” “. He takes as proof a photo of a Christmas decoration, taken in the city, where one can indeed read ” Fantastic december “.

Campaign obliges, the deputy adds: ” I want to be the President who defends our culture and our Christian traditions against the deconstructors of the far left and Macronists. “And it is not the only one to be upset by the news: the host of Sud Radio André Bercoff has, for his part, accused the ” cancel culture “To want to put an end to the” small Santa »In Besançon.

However, a quick search reveals that the day before Eric Ciotti’s tweet, the town hall evoked ” the magic of Christmas “On the occasion of the launch of” Christmas market “. The term ” Fantastic december Has in fact been used since 2019, before the election of the environmentalist mayor Anne Vignot, by the Office of Commerce and Crafts of Besançon. And it encompasses a set of activities, such as the Christmas market, a ” Christmas on stage ” or a ” ephemeral Christmas shop “. But also certain activities that are not directly related to the end of the year celebration, such as an animation around watchmaking know-how.

That Eric Ciotti and all the children rest assured, Christmas will be well celebrated, as every year, in the prefecture of Doubs.
