The sling of some mayors

The closure of certain non-essential businesses is causing a stir in several municipalities in the region. First to draw? The mayor of Migennes who signed a municipal decree to allow non-food businesses in his municipality to remain open “for fairness of treatment”. And several elected officials have followed suit across France.

In Côte-d’Or, Alain Suguenot, mayor of Beaune, imitated it while acknowledging that the document had only symbolic value. Finally, François Rebsamen, mayor of Dijon, has indicated on Twitter his desire to authorize the opening of Dijon bookstores, by a decree which will be taken this Saturday. Initiatives little appreciated by the LREM deputy of Côte-d’Or, Didier Paris.
