This first municipal council, in the new hemicycle of Chartres (Eure-et-Loir), is likely to mark the spirits. Thursday, May 27, 2021, 8:30 p.m. The deputy mayor of Chartres, in charge of Security and Public Tranquility takes the floor, he calls on the elected officials of Chartres Ecology. “Who makes up the municipal council? Our fellow citizens want to know ”. A two-hour debate ensued.
The former boss of the gendarmes refers to controversy which has been swelling for a fortnight now, around departmental and regional elections.
The account Twitter 2emeDB73 revealed, ten days ago, that the candidate for the regional elections for Center-Val de Loire, on the EEVL-LFI-Generations list, Abdelaziz Hafidi, had relayed, on social networks, remarks with Islamist movements , anti-Semitic and conspiratorial. He was removed from this list.
A few days later, the same user questioned Jeber Trad, candidate for the departmental elections in Eure-et-Loir, for the canton of Dreux 1, supported by environmental movements of the department, “which displays Islamist and conspiratorial sympathies”.

Quentin Guillemain, spokesperson for Generation Ecology then deplored “unspeakable positions taken”. The movement withdrew its support for the candidate.
“Know with whom I share these benches of the municipal assembly”
This Thursday evening, by opening the municipal council, Richard Lizurey, the deputy mayor of Chartres in charge of Security and Public Tranquility is calling the elected representatives of Chartres Ecologie to account, ”I am worried to know with whom I share these benches of the municipal assembly ”.
How did a candidate who posted such comments get on this list? What would have happened if Internet users had not raised this?
Jean-François Bridet “trapped”
To which Jean-François Bridet, elected from Chartres Ecologie replies: “I agree with you, Mr. Hafidi, had nothing to do on a list such as ours, secular, republican, respecting men, women , of all faiths ”.
The elected official says he is “trapped by certain things”, emphasizing his “young” career in politics. And to add: “I was the first to convene a crisis meeting”.
We will be all the more vigilant now in the sphere of social networks, have no fear, no doubt that if this person had to stay, I would have left.
“A trial of intent” on the one hand, the “drift” of the environmental movement on the other
Intervention of Ladislas Vergne, elected by the majority in Chartres, who protests about the two candidates who present, according to him, “exactly the same profiles, (…) it is the whole environmental movement which is in the process of being established. engage in the drift ”.
Jean-François Bridet (Chartres Ecologie) then denounces a “trial of intent (…), I hear in your words that I am going to recruit in the depths of Islamism, the movement is the first victim of this, it has moreover withdrawn its support for the person in question ”.
Quentin Guillemain, between two speeches, insists that this debate between as part of the electoral campaign, for which, Richard Lizurey, is also a candidate.
My words were very clear. We reacted immediately. You allow yourself, at the opening of the municipal council, to campaign in this way, what respect for democracy, not in this hemicycle!
“Things could be said in a meeting, here, it’s a bit too much,” said Jacqueline Marre (Chartres on the left). However, a good number of elected officials want to take part in this debate, which is very topical.
A “big tile”
Like Gaël Garreau (LaREM), who goes with his comment: “the situation that presents itself is dangerous, worrying. We do not accept on our lists people who do not share our Republican DNA “.
Four elected from Chartres Ecologie pass for Trojans, it is intolerable, this tile has happened to us, this big tile, this is not why democratic law must be thwarted and we have the right to debate in this hemicycle.
Anonymous publications put on the table
“Scandalized and shocked, by the remarks made against women” by the two candidates in the departmental and regional elections, the intervention of Sophie Beurel, youngest of the municipal council, will ignite the powder. She is part of a publication on the site Cactus Press, edited by Chartres Ecologie.
The elected of the majority explains that someone publishes insulting remarks against her “in an anonymous way under the acronym” she is hot in the c * l “, how the writing of Cactus lets such a fanatic publish such remarks? “.
And Jean-Pierre Gorges, mayor of Chartres, to add: “in particular on my daughter”. Then tense exchange between Laurent Lhuillery and Jean-François Bridet, about alleged threats of the latter against the elected by the majority.
I invite you collectively to moderate your comments, some border on defamation (…), if you feel insulted, Ms. Beurel, I invite you to take legal action and we will see.
“You manage to turn a situation around,” insists Richard Lizurey. After two hours, Daniel Guéret to close the debate: “I led the lists, I was responsible for my candidates”.
What is serious is that we are talking about radical Islamism, it is danger n ° 1 that awaits us, we have a common duty to ensure.
As a senator, he has indicated his intention to seize the Minister of the Interior, to supervise social media monitoring in the context of elections.
