Meydia defines itself as a “Left political association”. Some members of the municipal majority were formerly part of it. His appeal aimed at canceling the building permit on the basis of town planning criteria.
The association denounces an insufficient number of parking spaces, but also an increase in the daily flow of traffic that can make road and bicycle traffic dangerous.
As the appeal is not suspensive, the Fraternity of Saint Pius X was able to begin work to build this church of 650 m² and 299 places.
