Cross-party writing
This Monday, November 28, 2022, during a session of the departmental council of the Côte d’Or, the majority and the opposition addressed the topic.
The argument is launched by Nathalie Koenders (PS), departmental councilor of the opposition political group Côte-d’Or Terre d’avenir and, moreover, first deputy to the mayor of Dijon. Argument taken up by François-Xavier Dugourd (LR), chairman of the majority political group, under the gaze of his colleague Laurence Porte.
Also a member of Côte-d’Or Terre d’avenir, the ecologist Catherine Hervieu (EELV), adds her touch by proposing to take into account the “contribution to a European railway service”, which makes it possible to go beyond the principle of a “connection with an airport”. A winning proposition.
A bottle of Dijonnais to seal the consent
François-Xavier Dugourd and Nathalie Koenders agree to deposit a joint written wish in order to obtain a unanimous vote. To seal this consensus, Nathalie Koenders hands over a bottle of Dijonnais wine to François Sauvadet, delighted with the attention.
Arguing in particular on the return of travelers to Montbard station, the wish invites “the government to support the restoration of this TGV line in the name of balance and the principle of territorial equity”. The wish is in fact voted unanimously.
