A few days later, the counter-attack. At the beginning of the week, elected officials from the west of the Alpes-Maritimes criticized the PACA Region unfair treatment in the payment of regional subsidies.
A slingshot led by the mayor of Cannes David Lisnard, according to which it is “patronage” and of “cronyism“related to his lack of support for Renaud Muselier, President of the Region, during the campaign in 2021.
The president of the departmental council Charles-Ange Ginésy and the deputy LR Eric Ciotti also supported the approach.
“They are not forgotten…”
This Wednesday, elected officials close to Renaud Muselier and Christian Estrosi organized a press conference. Joseph Seguramayor of Saint-Laurent-du-Var and departmental councillor, and Pierre-Paul Leonelli, regional councilor and president of the majority regional group, denounce the same type of practices at the departmental level.
To (try to) summarize: the elected representatives of the departmental majority, according to them, are less generous with the support of Christian Estrosi than with the others.
“The department wants to give us lessons in morality, while the mayors of the Alpes-Maritimes denounce this clientelism that Ciotti himself denounces for the Region” thundered Joseph Segura.
“And they don’t forget each other..” supports Joseph Segura.”The canton of Tourrette-Levens, that of Eric Ciotti, receives more than 20% of the amount allocated to the subsidy competition fund. The canton of Vence of Charles-Ange Génésy takes about 15-16%“
“Everyone is asking for transparency, we are also asking for it from the departmental council“continued the mayor of Saint-Laurent-du-Var.
