On the occasion of the Congress of Mayors (November 20 to 23) of France, the franceinfo junior program takes an interest in their daily lives with CM2 students from the Pierre and Marie Curie school in Garges-lès-Gonesse (Val- of Oise).
To answer their questions, today’s guest is Philippe Hercouët, mayor of Lamballe-Armor in Côtes-d’Armor in Brittany and member of the Board of Directors of AMF 22 (the Association of Mayors and Presidents of EPCI of Côtes d’Armor). To start the show, Soumayya first wants to know what the mayor “loves his work”. Wassim wonders “how to become mayor”. Another question to ask if it is “dangerous” to be mayor, a problem heart in the news with incivility and violence against mayors.
What a daily life
In turn, Zeinep asks the guest why he “chose this profession”. The daily life of mayors is also a part of administrative work: “Does being mayor have to sign a lot of papers?” Bilal questions. “Can the President give orders to mayors?” Youssouf asks. To close the show, we listen to one last question from Elyes: “Does the mayor have the right to demonstrate?”
On this page, listen again to this Franceinfo junior program on mayors.
