Offensive, tiredness, the end of the party and, above all, happy holidays: no more!

The holidays come at just the right time for some. Take Serge Bousquet-Cassagne. The former president of the Chamber of Agriculture is visibly tired. On Thursday, during the deliberations concerning the trial for the damage, notably to the OFB offices in Clairac, the figurehead of CR47, in front of a captivated audience (otherwise it wouldn't be funny), sorted out the journalists, on one side those he likes and on the other, inevitably, those he doesn't like (the truth undoubtedly hurts), calling them "state journalists." Among them were France Inter and, of course, "Sud Ouest."

Certainly, France Inter is a public service, but its independence from the government is no longer in doubt. As for "Sud Ouest," the Fumélois nurseryman should be reminded that this is a media outlet with private and family shareholders, which would be doing very well if it were to receive as much in subsidies as agriculture. Given such confusion, it should come as no surprise that his management of the Chamber of Agriculture pushed his successor to abandon the matter so quickly.

Offensive

In a letter sent to the editorial staff, Sébastien Delbosq, leader of the RN 47, and Mickaël Fargue, departmental representative and deputy UDR 47, attacked participatory democracy as practiced by Jean Dionis. The regional elected official's target is the richly funded neighborhood projects. "How can we endorse and explain to the residents of the Dangla neighborhood that, out of 375,000 euros, 352,533 were spent on Lisbon Street alone, while the others were content with 22,647 euros?" » And Sébastien Delbosq noted that "four members of this council, including the president (who is also a former deputy mayor of the current mayor) and one of the vice-presidents, live on this street... How can we explain to the residents of the Berges de Garonne district that, out of 375,000 euros, 300,000 went solely to rue Ducourneau, where a member of the council also lives, who is also known to be close to the mayor? How can we explain to the residents of the Victor-Hugo district that, out of 375,000 euros, 210,000 went to (small) rue Neuve, where a member of the council also lives, who is also the husband of a deputy mayor?"

Robin Hood

Alain Klajman, it must be acknowledged, has an intense activity as an elected official. On Tuesday, July 8, the deputy sports officer for the City of Agen precipitated a meeting at the Jacques-Clouché sports complex with the Departmental Olympic and Sports Committee (CDOS), the Departmental Football Committee, and a number of clubs in the urban area to discuss government decisions that will penalize sports associations. It should be noted here that Alain Klajman is overstepping his bounds here, since his scope of action coincides with that of the City of Agen; his position as community advisor to the Urban Area has no bearing on this, since the latter has not assumed this authority. Nevertheless, the Agen elected official was also seen at the inauguration of the Olympic archery range on the side of the Boé archers, a facility that, let us point out, was not funded by the Urban Area. Alain Klajman, who, as we know, has no shortage of strings to his bow in the sporting field, was undoubtedly on the firing line to train.

Peloton

This week, the multi-sport channel Rail Agenais stumbled upon Steve Chainel, a Tour de France consultant on the Eurosport channel. The insolent figure took a dig at SNCF's punctuality during the July 6 stage between Lawen and Boulogne. The railway workers, who are also athletes, supported their request for an apology from the former cyclist with a document on the regularity of the trains. One wonders what they will be able to produce if, by chance, a consultant allows himself to make such a comment on railway performance in Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

It's getting tense

We all knew that "it is forbidden to forbid." The Lot-et-Garonne prefecture went even further on July 5th with a decree targeting musical gatherings such as rave parties and free parties. This text states that it "prohibits unauthorized events." As long as there's no question of putting a stop to the inaction!
