The municipal opposition group Bordeaux Ensemble seized the public prosecutor in the Pascale Roux case. The former city councilor delegated to international relations, had the town hall buy works of art from a painter, who was her companion, for a total of 1900 euros. Led by Nicolas Florian, the opposition group wonders in a press release on “a will of the mayor to hush up this affair“. They denounce “Pierre Hurmic’s light attitude in reaction to these extremely serious facts“. The city councilor of Bordeaux would not have responded to two letters sent to him for”get clarification about this matter“.
The “criminal qualification of the facts“for illegal taking of interest is also questioned by the opposition.
