For Amistat, “the animated nursery victim of a virus!” and the elected officials answer

Some accuse, others defend. Still this year the animated nursery will not make the happiness of young and old.

End clap for the animated crib. If during its first edition it surprised to the point of hearing some qualify it as a pagan crèche, the animated crèche, created by Amistat volunteers, has been imposed year after year. The most difficult for the creators being to find a theme and to synchronize it with the small animated characters, present under the porch of the Saint-Martin church. Two years in a row, due to the epidemic, it did not appear. Never two without three.

The reasons for the breakup

In a letter, the vice-president in charge of the crèche, Xavier Voisin, and the office announced that “The XIXth crèche animated by Amistat will not see the light of day! Last year, it was the Covid-19 that prevented from setting up the nursery (confinement); today it is another virus that forces us to stop, this virus has a name: anti-democracy …

The room, backing onto the Saint-Martin church, in which our equipment was stored and which allowed us to have electricity to operate the crèche was withdrawn from us by the mayor Bruno Dubos with the explanation: work to be done there to do ! Once the door has been changed, the L’Outil en main association is now benefiting from four rooms in Saint-Martin! […] In Foulayronnes, either you are a good soldier and you have the favors of the mayor, otherwise you are excluded! ”And Amistat to drive the point home. Point du Chêne posted: “A town hall that helps its associations”, we think we are dreaming! […] A final thought for all the young and old alike, who came to admire the work of the volunteers. Joy and happiness were at the rendezvous during the four weeks of exhibition of the animated crèche, the guest books are proof of this. As a reminder: 6,000 people on average each year. “

The response of elected officials

On the side of the municipality of Bruno Dubos, the bell is different. The mayor’s entourage points out supporting documents that Amistat has not applied for a grant this year, declaring itself “dormant” for the moment. Moreover, the municipal majority is still surprised, it is not correct to say that the association The tool in hand monopolizes the premises mentioned. The equipment is reserved for these volunteers on Monday evening and Wednesday afternoon. Finally, the mayor’s team reports that the nursery equipment is stored in Artigues, in a room made available by the municipal services.
