“No favoritism with us”
“It’s wrong, it’s nonsense!” We must stop with the supposed links with Stéphane Noël, retorts the mayor. I know him very little. He has a project on Thionville, rue du Vieux-Collège, a file complicated by archaeological excavations. He has the financial surface to do so. Otherwise, Habiter is very present because the group buys goods from individuals and restores them. The town hall has nothing to do with it. You know, everyone works in Thionville. We cannot speak of favoritism here. “
